Recent events concerning Atlantic salmon escapees in the Pacific
Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar L.) escapees from commercial salmon farms in Washington State, USA, and British Columbia, Canada, arecaught in fisheries from Washington State to Alaska. A large escape from a farm near Cypress Island, Washington, was likely to have been the cause of increased abundance...
