Abstract

"News & Issues" piece on a proposal by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Marine Fisheries Service to list the Atlantic salmon in eight Maine rivers under the Endangered Species Act. A recent review cites several growing concerns, including two new salmon virus threats that have emerged since 1997, and genetic dilution resulting from escaped acquaculture salmon spawning with wild salmon. With observations and comments by those supporting and opposing the measure.
