In fact it would not require any divine circumvention as to viscosity, hydraulic principles or gravity. http://salem-news.com/articles/april272012/fishy-fraser-ba.php http://salem-news.com/articles/april272012/fishy-fraser-ba.php Fri, 27 Apr 2012 14:05:00 PDT Sea Shepherd Conservation Society has called for and demanded the immediate removal of Dr Giam Choo-Hoo from the UN’s Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species. Dr. Giam, a key member of the UN body that helps regulates trade in endangered animals has been accused of being a representative of the shark fin industry, which is driving some species of the fish towards extinction. http://salem-news.com/articles/march252012/sea-shepherds.php http://salem-news.com/articles/march252012/sea-shepherds.php Sun, 25 Mar 2012 13:32:00 PDT The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has granted a five-year permit for the killing of California sea lions that are eating threatened salmon and steelhead near Bonneville Dam in northwest Oregon. Oregon, Washington and Idaho may each year kill up to 92 sea lions that have a “significant negative impact” on at-risk salmon and steelhead runs on the Columbia River. http://salem-news.com/articles/march172012/sea-lion-deaths.php http://salem-news.com/articles/march172012/sea-lion-deaths.php Sat, 17 Mar 2012 05:20:00 PDT A noted human rights activist arrived in Sri Lanka several days ago following an international conference in Rome, and noticed that he was being followed by a van; of course potentially synonymous with the notorious 'White Van' disappearances which Sri Lanka has become internationally noted for. The suspicious behavior of the group led him to believe that he was in danger of being abducted.

Unfortunately, during the past 100 years the human race has worked hard to make this prediction come true. Nuclear arsenals can destroy Mankind many times over. Alien biological weapons exist that can annihilate all humanity. Toxins are available that are so deadly a few drops in a city's water supply can kill millions. http://salem-news.com/articles/january082011/animal-deaths-ta.php http://salem-news.com/articles/january082011/animal-deaths-ta.php Sat, 08 Jan 2011 04:38:00 PST Intense competition for access to females can lead to males exploiting different components of sexual selection, and result in the evolution of alternative mating strategies. Males of Poecilia parae, a colour polymorphic fish, exhibit five distinct phenotypes: drab-coloured (immaculata), striped (parae), structural-coloured (blue) and carotenoid-based red and yellow morphs. http://salem-news.com/articles/december232010/fish-mating-colors-jh-jacu.php http://salem-news.com/articles/december232010/fish-mating-colors-jh-jacu.php Thu, 23 Dec 2010 18:14:00 PST Microbes matter -- perhaps more than anyone realizes -- in basic biological development and, maybe, they could be a target for reducing cancer.

The sea along its coast has always been a good provider, and the most important gift that that sea has offered up is the Pacific salmon that once filled its rivers and streams from far west of Alaska to Central California. That is changing. This year the return of Sockeye to the Fraser River collapsed and finally the Canadian government is ordering judicial inquiry into why this happened. http://salem-news.com/articles/november202009/fish_story_jw.php http://salem-news.com/articles/november202009/fish_story_jw.php Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:07:00 PST Creekside Flyfishing will be hosting a winter steelhead seminar this Saturday, November 21st.

The first good push of fish usually arrives here in early November. This year’s returns are so minimal that Chinook fishing in this section of water is totally closed. However, my love for this section of water is far more about the experience of being there than putting meat on the bank. http://salem-news.com/articles/november052009/outdoors_gr.php http://salem-news.com/articles/november052009/outdoors_gr.php Thu, 05 Nov 2009 13:47:00 PST An Oregon fisherman from the town of Warren will pay a fine of $299.00 for harvesting a 12-foot Great White August 8, 2009 and gutting it on the docks at Depoe Bay. Angler Jason W. Robinson, age 32, of Warren, Oregon, told an investigating state police trooper that he was responsible for the shark, and that it become entangled in their crab gear and was pulled to the surface when they were bringing in a crab pot. http://salem-news.com/articles/october052009/greatr_white_fines_10-5-09.php http://salem-news.com/articles/october052009/greatr_white_fines_10-5-09.php Mon, 05 Oct 2009 15:49:00 PDT The first wild coho season in 15 years on two coastal river basins will close this week as anglers reach harvest limits designed to provide what biologists hope will become Oregon’s newest sustainable salmon fishery. Retention of non fin-clipped coho will close on the Yaquina and Nehalem rivers at the end of the regular fishing day on Wednesday, Sept. 23. Both rivers will remain open to adipose fin-clipped hatchery coho through the end of the year. In addition, the Yaquina remains open for chinook salmon under 2009 temporary rules. http://salem-news.com/articles/september212009/coho_closure_9-21-09.php http://salem-news.com/articles/september212009/coho_closure_9-21-09.php Mon, 21 Sep 2009 22:29:00 PDT Fishing on the ocean has never been my favorite thing. As a kid (and as a young adult) I can clearly remember spending ocean trips leaning over the rail feeding the fish. That exhausting queezy feeling just wasn’t something I looked forward to repeating. However, I also like fresh fish in my freezer, so a compromise had to be made. My buddy Scott recently organized a tuna trip off the Oregon Coast. This caused me to face my fears head on. I learned that the days of Dramamine are now over, and the new anti-motion sickness drug of choice is called Meclazine. http://salem-news.com/articles/august282009/ocean_fishing_gr_8-28-09.php http://salem-news.com/articles/august282009/ocean_fishing_gr_8-28-09.php Fri, 28 Aug 2009 02:20:00 PDT Anglers may keep an additional coho salmon on the Willamette River and its tributaries above Willamette Falls under new rules adopted by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife.

Three former Northwest governors have already made their minds up, including John Kitzhaber here in Oregon, Cecil Andrus in Idaho and Mike Lowry in Washington. http://salem-news.com/articles/august062009/salmon_nw_8-5-09.php http://salem-news.com/articles/august062009/salmon_nw_8-5-09.php Thu, 06 Aug 2009 00:09:00 PDT Senator Joanne Verger (D-District 5), representing the Oregon coast from Lincoln City to Coos Bay, praised the selection today of the Port of Newport as the newest home of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association’s Marine Operations Center in the Pacific. “This is monumental news for our coast and for our state,” said Verger. http://salem-news.com/articles/august052009/noaa_newport_8-5-09.php http://salem-news.com/articles/august052009/noaa_newport_8-5-09.php Wed, 05 Aug 2009 01:50:00 PDT Fishing for Energy is catching on in Oregon. Garibaldi and Newport will be the first port communities in the state to participate in the innovative partnership that provides a cost-free solution for fishermen to dispose of old fishing gear that is then turned into energy.

The closure is effective July 2nd 2009 at 11:59 p.m. The season for Snake River hatchery fish opened on May 30th from the Dug Bar Boat Ramp to the deadline below Hells Canyon Dam. Fishery managers say they opened this sport season because the predicted number of hatchery spring chinook returning to the base of Hells Canyon Dam exceeded the number needed for broodstock purposes. http://salem-news.com/articles/june302009/chinook_snake-closure_6-30-09.php http://salem-news.com/articles/june302009/chinook_snake-closure_6-30-09.php Tue, 30 Jun 2009 15:57:00 PDT The Oregon House of Representatives approved HB-3013 A on Thursday, outlining a detailed plan and timeline to complete evaluation of six potential marine reserve sites recommended by the Governor’s Ocean Policy Advisory Council.
