Alaska’s children are carefully educated to respect the life cycle of Wild Salmon. This understanding is essential to the health and sustainability of wild salmon stocks. Salmon newly hatched from eggs remain in fresh water for about a year before heading out to sea. The fish feed and grow in the ocean for an average of four to seven years. Remarkably, each fish will return to the exact stream in which it hatched to spawn and die. This predictable behavior allows biologists to determine the escapement of returning adults needed to lay eggs, ensuring sufficient future runs. Alaska’s commercial fishermen rely on the fishing regulations provided by these biologists to protect both Wild Salmon and the future of our own livelihood.

There is, however, a threat to this heaven-sent fish that concerns all who love to catch and consume Wild Salmon. The threat is Farmed Fish. With the increasing popularity of salmon farms around the world, commercial fishermen aren't the only ones paying the price. Penned fish have an increased risk of disease. Fish escaping from these farms, into the open ocean, pose a serious hazard to the health of wild salmon stocks. In addition, a juvenille wild salmon, swimming through a Farmed Fish pen on it's way out to sea, can be subjected to unusually high levels of sea-lice infestation, which is often fatal.
