I enjoyed this book as it was concise and full of rich detail. A highlight is that it compares and contrasts the many salmon species. It is an excellent resource for a classroom!
Amid contemporary debates over large dam development and declines in fisheries, this book offers a case study of a river basin where development decisions did not ultimately dam the river, but rather conserved its salmon. Although the case is local, the implications of this environmental history of the Fraser River (British Columbia), and the attempts to dam it for power and defend it for salmon, ...

+ Mistakes repeated + Required reading for all who live (and fish) in the NW
This book is something every person concerned with the plight of salmon should read. Not only is it very correct in finding the fault with our political system but it backs up every quote, statement or fact with an extensive list of references. Its amazing to me how not one person has seemed to ...
This book will appeal to investigators in each of the scientific disciplines it integrates--evolutionary biology, ecology, salmonid biology, management, and conservation. Variation in salmonids can be used to illustrate virtually all evolutionary questions, and so the work will also attract general scientific interest by ecologists and evolutionary and conservation biologists.
Pacific salmon live in salt water then swim up freshwater streams to spawn. During this period, these fish take on some of the most brilliant colorations ever witnessed. This Pocket Guide shows anglers how to identify salmon both before and after this transformation. Length-weight-age charts are also included.

+ An excellent book on salmon populations in the Pacific NW.
Joseph Cone's book, "A Common Fate: Endangered Salmon and the People of the Pacific Northwest," tells a story that combines over two hundred years of U.S. history with the prurient facts of salmon and political science. Cone, in unflinching detail, and with a flair for dramatic storytelling, ...
Beautiful, elegant book, just like Salmona's works.

For thousands of years, Pacific salmon have been the focus for the economic and social development of societies, both ancient and modern, around the rim of the North Pacific Ocean. Conducting lengthy oceanic migrations, the salmon pass through coastal waters of Alaska, British Columbia, and the northwest United States, completing their last journeys to their rivers of origin where they spawn and ...
