Where have all the Salmon gone?

“EMF’s DO affect Salmon. All salmon fishermen know this and understand the importance of
monitoring and controlling the EMF around our vessels. We, as a fleet, spend thousands of
dollars every year to minimize and/or take advantage of the EMF produced by the low voltages
produced by the electrical systems on our vessels. Any unwanted electrical leakage in our
vessels’ systems has a strong negative impact on those vessels’ ability to consistently catch fish.
These vessel electrical charges and the resulting EMF’s are measured in Milli-volts and Milli-
amps. The Wave Energy Buoys will be operating at much higher voltage and amperage.
All of the concerns about EMF’s impacts on the species listed in this section of the FERC letter
also apply to Salmon. In addition, I have a deep concern that any unnatural, new EMF created by
Wave Energy Buoys will interrupt a Salmon’s ability to home on it’s natal stream and be
detrimental in the fishes’ ability to return home for spawning. Most of the proposed Buoy sites,
including the OPT site, are adjacent to the mouths of highly productive coastal Salmon streams. The question of Wave Energy Buoy produced EMFs’ affects on a Salmon’s homing
ability must be answered prior to siting and placement of buoys.”

COLLAPSE! Why do the Salmon Continue to Disappear from Our MotherLode Rivers? By Craig A. Will
WHERE HAVE ALL THE SALMON GONE?
Fewer Chinook salmon returning from the ocean to spawn in the rivers means that fishing will be closed for two successive years. What happened, and what role might Tuolumne and Calaveras counties play in restoring the salmon fishery?
In the fall of 2007, fish biologists counting the number of Chinook salmon returning from the ocean to spawn via the Sacramento River got an unwelcome surprise. Only 87,881 salmon were found in the river – way below the predicted 265,000, and below the minimum goal of 122,000 considered necessary for conserving the fishery. A year later, counts were even lower, with only 66,286 spawners found – the lowest number ever recorded. Read the rest of this entry »

Some Coastal Towns Need Persuading To Embrace Wave Energy

“OSU’s Boehlert also wonders whether underwater noise or electromagnetic fields will alter the ability of fish to navigate and find food.”

NEWPORT, Ore. – R&D engineers rig a wave energy buoy during sea trials earlier this September.
Harnessing the power of ocean waves to make electricity is all the rage among Northwest politicians and conservationists. Oregon State University and the University of Washington just got a big grant to work on wave and tidal energy. Read the rest of this entry »

The salmon are disappearing
Posted by smeddum on June 21, 2008
Salmon like honeybees are affected by electromagnetic forces. ( see article)
Like the honeybees, salmon are disappearing. Apparently they are getting lost, and unable to return home, another similarity they have with the honeybees.
