Stop eating salmon?
Until the salmon populations recover, that is

We’ve noted calls to cut back on salmon consumption before. Now comes a Canadian call to stop eating salmon altogether, in part because saving wild stocks might not be possible. As the article in The Tyee points out, however, even a 15-year moratorium on cod fishing hasn’t saved the Atlantic cod, and the same might be true of Pacific salmon.

Pacifc salmon populations from Bristol Bay and Cook Inlet, in Alaska, are wild and healthy. These are the places where most of the wild Pacific salmon in your market originates. Though there are threats to these populations it has nothing to do with fishing. Please don’t stop eating these fish. The more there is an economic reason to keep these populations healthy the better the argument for keeping their habitats healthy. Atlantic salmon is another story.
