Massive predicted return of pink salmon could bolster Island community

The Department of Fisheries and Oceans predicts a median return of 27 million pinks which could mean an opportunity for a large harvest

I am surprised we aren't being told we can't harvest those either.

Big pink years aren't good for SRKW - they mask the larger Chinook making it hard for the whales to find their preferred prey.

Someone should inform the author the pinks are RETURNING to the Fraser and other rivers, not currently staging within them to head to sea!

"Right now, somewhere in the Fraser River is a massive school of pink salmon preparing to head to sea, with many potentially bound for Sooke."

But really Nog, sounds about right for most media these days.

High pink salmon abundance and SRKW poor survival - Its a thing.......crazy as it sounds, you can't make this stuff up

Scientists find ‘odd’ pattern in killer whale birth, death rates

Fisheries scientists suspect odd-even year fluctuations may have something to do with pink salmon

So I took it on myself to write the fellow and let him know the error in that.
He thanked me and said he had edited it.
To this:

"Right now, somewhere in the Pacific Ocean is a massive school of pink salmon potentially bound for Sooke."

Can't make this stuff up!

SRKW only eat wild chinook so this won’t help.

I think you may be missing the point of the research - its not that SRKW eat pinks - its they impede SRKW ability to find their preferred prey - Chinook

Well I prefer AAA beef but sometimes have to settle for a pork butt instead

ha ha, I don't blame them. When my kids were small they called them "stinky pinky's". Loved catching just about any fish, but quickly learned which fish they liked to eat. Seems SRKW have similar tastes.
