These seven are treated in separate essays, each of which opens with an introduction that offers my personal perspective. This is followed by a discussion of a species' physical characteristics, such as size, weight, and coloration; also presented are the range and life cycle of the fish. Their age-old importance to the human inhabitants along the Strait is examined. A brief evolutionary background offers insights into geologically deep time and Ice Age dynamics as well. Essays also delve into fishing issues, particularly where populations have been severely impacted. These discussions also examine other factors that have contributed to the decline of all salmon. Restoration and conservation are introduced and their importance to hope for the future is given particular emphasis. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA pastel painting, by the author, of each species adds a visual element to each essay. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Species\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003ePink Salmon (\u003ci\u003eOncorhynchus gorbuscha\u003c\/i\u003e) - \"Too Much of a Good Thing?\"\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eChum Salmon (\u003ci\u003eOncorhynchus keta\u003c\/i\u003e) - \"Local Restoration\"\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eCoho (\u003ci\u003eOncorhynchus kisutch\u003c\/i\u003e) - \"Data and Models\"\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eSteelhead (\u003ci\u003eOncorhynchus mykiss\u003c\/i\u003e) - \"Adaptation: the Fresh and the Salty\"\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eSockeye (\u003ci\u003eOncorhynchus nerka\u003c\/i\u003e) - \"Two Ice Age forms\"\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eChinook (\u003ci\u003eOncorhynchus tshawytscha\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e) \u003cb\u003e- \"Culturally Significant\"\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eCutthroat\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003e(\u003ci\u003eOncorhynchus clarkii\u003c\/i\u003e)- \"Versatility\"\u003c\/b\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 138\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.3 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 28, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52709918802227,"sku":"9798334413337","price":28.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/7E3tThTnvH9798334413337.webp?v=1763477560","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/circled-life-salmon-of-the-strait-of-juan-de-fuca-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
