History and Status of Pacific Salmon in British Columbia
نویسنده
چکیده
Pacific salmon colonized the west coast of Canada following the last ice age (Groot and Margolis 1991) and are now found throughout British Columbia. British Columbia salmon have been harvested by members of the aboriginal community for several thousand years (Kew and Griggs 1991). More recently however, particularly over the last 125 years, salmon have also become the focus of intense commercial and recreational fisheries (Shephard et al. 1985). This paper reviews the history and status of the five major species of Pacific salmon in this century, and provides a brief summary of the major factors currently thought to affect the status of each stock.
