How do you know if a salmon has a stomach-ache? 🐟 🤔
A GenomeBC project is seeing if gut microbes can provide early detection. Researchers are developing a simple poop test 💩 for #ChinookSalmon to spot imbalances.

Commercial salmon season is shut down — again. Will California’s iconic fish ever recover? What’s behind the decision to suspend the season for an unprecedented third year in a row.

Due to the ongoing collapse of Chinook salmon, officials have shut down California’s commercial salmon fishing for a third straight year. Limited recreational fishing will be allowed this spring for the first since 2022. - Bay Area News #California #ChinookSalmon #BayArea #salmon #fishing

The Coastal Commission supported the South Yuba River Citizens League with a Whale Tail® Grant that brought students on a Salmon Expedition to see Chinook salmon spawning.🧵
