Where are the wild coho?
Article Abstract:
The coho, a salmon species found in the Pacific Northwest, is fast disappearing because of many factors such as the construction of hydro facilities, fishing and hatchery activities and logging. Dams have especially been pointed out as the main factor since they prevent the fish from navigating the river and pose as a danger to fish who wander through the facilities' turbines. Utilities have proposed solutions to this problem including the construction of fish ladders and creating new hatcheries.
