Pacific Salmon Classification

The wildlife of the Canadian Shield region is very diverse, with many different species of bears, birds, wolves, insects or fish living in the massive forests.(Kate, Navneet & Simone, n.d) The wide diversity is because of the abundance of food, shelter, and water the Canadian shield has. The many lakes and rivers that present in the region provide a nearly unlimited supply of fresh water and the trees provide shelter for the millions of small insects and animals. The larger animals would prey on these smaller animals, or graze on the vegetation.

In the California Central Valley, fall‐run juvenile Chinook salmon rear typically from January to June. However, in some years, the rearing period may be reduced due to high water temperatures in April. Growth and survival rates of juvenile Chinook salmon are affected by water temperature and cover (e.g., substrate pore spaces, gravel interstices, boulders, snags, over‐hanging vegetation, root wads, under‐cut banks, and macrophytes). Cover is important for protection from predation, flow displacement, water temperature stress, and the fish caloric intake optimization. Human-induced sources of stress to the riverine ecosystems include: “(1) overfishing (i.e., extracting larger quantities of fish than the system can sustain naturally); (2) nutrient

The Arctic: it is an integral part of the Canadian identity, recognized internationally by jokes about pet polar bears, and living in igloos. Joking aside, the Arctic is an important part of Canada, making up 40% of the country’s landmass, and home to roughly 100,000 Canadians. In addition to being part of Canada, it is also a source of untapped economic wealth, particularly with the recent effect of global warming on the polar ice caps. It is also home to the fabled Northwest Passage, a sea route capable of reducing shipping time drastically, by providing a more direct route from Europe to North America, or Asia to Europe; however, it is because of these aforementioned resources that the sovereignty of the Canadian Arctic has been jeopardized.

Canada is a huge country with many different landscapes. Its Western half has three unique physical regions. They are the Western Cordillera, the Prairies, and Canadian Shield. This Western Cordillera is the most legitimist and beautiful out of those regions. This region has a dramatic geological history that has produced numerous resources essential to the people of Canada today.

Juvenile Pacific Salmon and other migratory marine animals are travel many long distance under water to use resources in different oceanic regions. The main question is how these marine animals travel many long distance and able to locate Specific Ocean feeding areas without previous experience. Researchers experimentally demonstrate that the juvenile chinook salmon respond to magnetic field which lead them toward their marine feeding grounds. The “magnetic map” of Juvenile salmon to be inherited. These results, Similar with findings in the sea turtles indicate that the magnetic maps are genetically wide spread and show their navigational abilities evident in many long distance under water

An endangered species is a species of either plant or animal that is in serious risk of becoming extinct. This name became connected with the Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) in 1994 after being petitioned to be put on the list for nine years (NOAA). There are two main reasons behind the endangerment of the Chinook salmon: over exploration, and dams. Since the times of the Native Americans, Chinook salmon have been highly sought after as a food source. Since then the salmon have experienced great amounts of overfishing. Along with water demands which has resulted in overuse of water and diversion of water had affected spawning sites and loss of habitat putting further strain on their habitats (National Wildlife Federation).

In the article “Changes at Snake River dams helping Idaho sockeye salmon” it states that “an unusual combination of low water and an extended heat wave pushed water temperatures past 70 degrees, lethal for cold-water sockeye.” I have a very strong connection to fishing and I hate it when fish die for no good reason or because of a manmade structure. A report by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said “One of the factors contributing to the deaths of sockeye salmon was “fallback,” a tendency of fish to successfully climb a dam’s fish ladder but then, running into warm water, decide to go back downstream, often via a dam’s spillway or through the turbines.” This reminds me of the time I was fishing near a small dam and caught

With the influx of human population immigrating to Pacific Northwest Region of the United States at the end of the 19th century, extracting the natural goods of the environment quickly became an issue of sustainability and preservation. In the State of Washington Ninth Annual Report of the State Fish Commissioner of 1898, author A.C. Little illustrates how the extractive actions along many of Washington’s river systems are resulting in a major depletion of salmon species unique to the Northwest. Little’s Report aimed to bring attention to over consumption of this finite resource that was not only intrinsically valuable to many people within the region but was also a very successful economic engine too value to deplete. The booming fishing industry,

In this paper I will examine two diverse articles in an attempt to understand species-specific response to change. The first article focuses on species change from a broader point of view, looking at feeding ecology and trophic dynamics in a variety of Pacific salmon species. The second article presents a more in-depth analysis, researching the thermal tolerance of Sockeye Salmon specifically.

The British Columbia

Ethnographic Cultures in British Columbia British Columbia is a region that comprises six different cultural regions in relation to intangible property in Canada (“Aboriginal Intangible Property” par, 1). These major cultural regions include the northern region, the subarctic region, coastal region, the plateau region, the plains region, and the northeast region. The subarctic region basically represents the largest area in the country since it incorporates various territories including the Northwest Territories. In contrast, the Plateau region is located in the interior of British Columbia and expands toward Alberta. Given the differences between the subarctic and the Plateau regions, the ethnographic cultures located in these regions have some major differences.

Canada is known for their mountains, landforms, long lakes, wildlife, tourist attractions, and there historical sites. Canada has 10 provinces and 3 territories. 1. Newfoundland and Labour’s geography has a lot to contain like there one thousand small islands.

If you're a nature lover, you'll certainly find Nova Scotia a wonderful place to explore. Moose, deer, porcupine and black bear inhabit most of the mainland. Leisure activities are plentiful in Nova Scotia, with many walking and hiking trails throughout. Be sure not to forget the Cabot Trail in Cape Breton for

Up to the North of the U.S.A lies a great country whose landscape remains, for the most part, unscathed. Canada. It’s obvious, with its high economy, good relations with other countries, and low unemployment rates, that it’s one of the select countries in the G-8.
