Pink salmon, native to the North Pacific, are rapidly invading Nordic waters. Since 2017, numbers have surged 50x, especially in Norway. Their impact on ecosystems remains unclear due to limited research and management plans #fish #invasive

Bottom trawling, dragging a heavy net across the seafloor, has been compared to burning down a forest to catch rabbits.

Pink salmon is the smallest Pacific salmon species (the genus Oncorhynchus) found in North America, often weighing <5 lb (2.2 kg).
“Oncorhynchus” comes from the Greek onkos ("hook") + rynchos ("nose"), in reference to the hooked jaws males typically develop in the spawning season #25DaysofFishmas

Sharing this photo of a native oyster bed in one of our survey sites here for the first time. This was my coelacanth moment, especially as many deny these oyster habitats even exist. Same as eels, Ostrea edulis (the species and the habitat) are threatened and yet we keep managing them as a fishery.
