Mark Hume in the Globe and Mail writes: “What is killing British Columbia’s salmon? And just where is the crime scene? Like Agatha Christie’s fictional detective, Hercule Poirot, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Bruce Cohen is faced with a mass of conflicting evidence as his federal inquiry tries to answer those questions and explain what happened to millions of salmon that have vanished at sea.” The case of the missing fish Meanwhile, Craig Welch of the Seattle Times brings the mystery up to date.

The business now faces a challenge to its very existence that we didn't even know about until five years ago: ocean acidification.” Ocean acidification is most urgent threat to marine conservation
We are what we eat? Phuong Le at Associated Press writes: “Washington waters are supposed to be clean enough to protect people who eat fish from rivers, streams and lakes, but the state standard assumes people can safely eat less than 8 ounces of fish a month.
