Wild verses farmed salmon

    Did Salmon Rule? Enquiring when intensive storage and sedentism began on the Northwest Coast Introduction Background Namu, located in the traditional territory of the Heiltsuk Nation on the central coast of British Columbia is an archaeological obscurity, as no one can be sure of the actual time frame of intensive storage and sedimentation occurrences. On the Northwest Coast "salmon remains, the representation of cranial elements versus vertebrae, mass capture technology and storage structures are being debated as evidence for large-scale salmon storage" (Cannon and Yang, 2006). The use of this knowledge is to acquire sustainable information of when the sedentism and storage actually began.…

    But as Freedman says, “The fact is, there is simply no clear, credible evidence that any aspect of food processing or storage makes a food uniquely unhealthy” (Freedman). This shows that there is nothing creditable holding up the idea that just being processed will make a food unhealthy. It was also at this fact which Freedman made a rebuttal to some possible objections that readers might have. People might object because they could say people need to get nutrients like vitamins, so they need to eat fresh food to get that. But freedman rebuttals to that by saying that those nutrients are also in processed food not just fresh food.…

    (Neff et al, 2015) Hatchery raised salmon exhibit reproductive behaviors that differ widely from wild salmon that result in hatchery males fertilizing 62% as many eggs as wild males (Neff et al, 2015.)

    If I were to create a nature documentary, I would focus on the lifecycle and human-related difficulties of Alaskan salmon. This is because they are something I already have a fundamental understanding of due to my experience as both a recreational and commercial fisherman in Alaska. The documentary would be intended as an educational piece aimed at stimulating awareness and interest in salmon while also subtly advocating for greater protective measures on Alaska’s natural salmon runs. As such, the targeted audience for my documentary would be individuals in my community and across the state of Alaska who are uninformed and/or do not have any opinion about the effects of human-related activities on the wild Alaskan salmon population.…
