Atlantic Salmon

It has already been tried actively numerous times on this coast with little to no success. Also, with all the farms and escapees over the years there have been plenty of Atlantics out there to establish a population if it were viable. I have heard theories (and some research results ) that show Atlantics are wired different and have evolved for Atlantic conditions and feeding currents that do not exist here. I think I mentioned it earlier in this topic, if Atlantics were more fit to exist on this coast there have been plenty of chances for them to have already established a breeding population.

Terrible idea. Bringing another non native competitor to fight for resources against our already paltry salmon population is a death sentence. There is a simple solution, get rid of ALL dams. Of course this will never happen because of the importance to the region the dams are. But the answer is really that simple, albeit unreasonable to the vast majority of commerce in the region.
