In the 1999 study for the Province funded by the Habitat Conservation trust Fund - Volpe looked at 22 streams CK. Juvenile Atlantics were observed in 3 streams - the Amour do Cosmos, Adam River, and the Tsitika River.Anything I say about self-reporting you will dismiss due to your bias against "industry", so what's the point?
You can't seem to see the companies for the individual BC residents that make them.
I see you also avoided addressing my point about Volpe pursuing the evidence of a feral population by mentioning how hard he worked to research interactions.
Seems to me that proving their existence in the wild would be more important than hypothesizing interactions that may rarely actually occur - no?
Or, does creating a scenario do more for the creation of FUD than actually confirming whether escaped farmed Atlantics were establishing populations in BC?
You are an anonymous poster, so I'm going to disregard the rest - Although I will say you have proven to be a truly special character in this forum.
In the Can. J. Fish. Aquat. Sci. 58: 197–207 (2001) study - Volpe states: "In August 1998, the first naturally reproduced Atlantic salmon were captured in the Tsitika River on the northeast coast of Vancouver Island (Volpe et al. 2000). The 12 fish sampled represent the first documented evidence of successful feral spawnings (2 year-classes captured) of aquaculture-escaped Atlantic salmon in British Columbia."
