World Oceans Week 2022 – Kasey Stirling

World Oceans Week 2022 – Kasey Stirling

Stirling works with six Lower Fraser First Nations for her project, which investigates how single-celled algae may be linked to salmon abundance. Although Indigenous Peoples are increasingly working collectively to solve environmental problems that affect Earth’s oceans, challenges remain when it comes to collaborating with the Canadian government, she says.

Elders share knowledge of profound wild Pacific salmon decline

Elders share knowledge of profound wild Pacific salmon decline

Elders reported that salmon catches are one sixth what they were 50 to 70 years ago, and that the loss of salmon had taken a toll on their communities, especially their ability to teach young people about the fish.

International Year of the Salmon Expedition helps IOF researchers map North Pacific food webs

International Year of the Salmon Expedition helps IOF researchers map North Pacific food webs

For scientists in the IOF’s Pelagic Ecosystems Lab, the trip represents a chance to trace the outline of North Pacific food webs, in which salmon play a central role as both predator and prey.

Researchers deploy a new tool to study Chinook salmon fat content on the Fraser River

Researchers deploy a new tool to study Chinook salmon fat content on the Fraser River

A Chinook with a short migration to Harrison Lake may offer half the calories to a resident killer whale as a similarly sized Chinook headed to the headwaters of the Fraser River.

These bodies of water are right next to each other, but oceans apart

These bodies of water are right next to each other, but oceans apart

Areas of B.C.’s coastal ocean may look similar from above water, but under the water, they can be completely different worlds, in terms of temperature, salinity, ocean acidification, and nutrient concentrations.

Farmed seafood supply at risk if we don’t act on climate change

Farmed seafood supply at risk if we don’t act on climate change

If we continue to burn fossil fuels at our current rate, the amount of seafood able to be farmed sustainably will increase by only 8% by 2050, and decline by 16% by 2090.
