text: Too bad the painting is of an ATLANTIC salmon, not a Pacific salmon. The article overstates, in my view, the fate of Pacific salmon in BC at least in the medium term. BC is a huge area with very diverse rivers and salmon populations and to generalize is to devalue the potential for that variation to sustain salmon long into the future. Continuing declines of some species in the Fraser River are likely and climate change is just one of the contributing factors to that sad story.
