Excellent article from West Coast Environmental Law states “In a nutshell, the study has demonstrated that higher salmon biodiversity can lead to higher catch stability and temporal availability of salmon at First Nations fisheries within the Fraser River. This means that fisheries that have access to a greater species diversity (i.e. chinook, coho, chum, sockeye, pink) and population diversity (i.e. the number of different populations within each of those species) have more consistent and longer seasonal availability of salmon. The report has profound legal implications for fisheries management and biodiversity conservation.”
