Program: Market to Market #3331
Broadcast Date: Apr. 4, 2008
In 2006, the commercial fishing season for salmon off the Pacific coast was cut by 90%, primarily because of a lack of fish coming from the Klamath River. The cuts cost fishing families and related businesses along the Pacific coast more than 60 million dollars causing the 2006 season to be declared a federal disaster. With fewer salmon being hooked, commercial fishermen have turned to science to help their net profit. Market to Market travels to Oregon to see how DNA research could increase salmon populations in the future.
