I like how you claimed that “salmon farms pollute the wild salmon’s habitat” because it is so true. It is sad that humans are willing to alter the way of life for a wild animal just to make money. I understand that people live off of fish for survival, but many humans are turning to artificial fish-farming just to make profit.
I definitely agree that humans are creating a salmon species that has the possibility to overtake a wild species. The fact that humans are formulating a fish that can’t survive in the wild and are allowing these fish to escape into the wild, is totally unacceptable.
As an Alaskan resident as well, I too have heard about the lack of fish this year. Sadly, it’s hard on small towns that rely on tourist fishers during the summer and on families who rely on fish as a food source. I agree that there is much room for improvement in global manners of obtaining fish.
I definitely agree that this number fluctuates within the range of 5-7, but I’m not too sure of it reaching 10. Since there are still fish out there, I believe fish rates aren’t in complete peril…yet. I too hear updates from news sources about over-fishing.
