No More Salmon
Some folks declare the environment is getting better, but then they aren't fish biologists. I am. Chinook Salmon Vanish Without a Trace. In a time of dwindling fresh water in a warming world, this is a symptom. Hatchery salmon don't have the survival skills of wild runs. Like cattle, they can wander off and die easily. One thing is certain: they need water to get back to their source.

It's insights like this that cause me to respect your experience as a fish biologist.
Lack of water is a problem for a fish. When you have conservative government subsidized potato farmers (how's that hypocrisy?)taking the water, the fish die. There may be lynchings. Ever meet angry commerical fishermen? Tough bunch.
Don't you mean "potatoe?"
