The Fraser River may be the worlds largest salmon producing river. At the end of June we visited with a research project underway in the Discovery Islands off of Campbell River where a small crew is sampling the juvenile sockeye salmon from the Fraser along their out migration to sea. Most of the Fraser sockeye travel up the Inside Passage and past many of British Columbia’s 130+ industrial salmon farming operations.
