Salmon: A Fish, the Earth, and the History of a Common Fate

This study delves into the evolution, life cycle, and migration patterns of salmon. It then traces the history of its exploitation as a food source, drawing from written accounts spanning from Julius Caesar to Henry David Thoreau. The study also examines the impact of Arctic exploration and the colonization of North America on salmon populations. Finally, it addresses the environmental consequences of salmon farming, over-fishing, and climate change, and proposes strategies to mitigate these impacts.
