Not too many sockeye but too many pink salmon! At least there are fish in the Canadian ocean and river. You must be glad that there are millions of them there. A trip to the supermarket recently had it known to us that a cleaned, fillet of pink salmon cost $18.00 and that's only half fillet measuring about 15 inches. Sockeye is costly and I think the most expensive salmon. Whatever it is that's causing the lost of too many sockeye is beyond my control or I am not responsible for that. Most of all there are too many big fish eating salmons. Yes dudette, other larger fish or bigger than salmons can eat your favorite fish. There could be sharks, whales, seals, sea lions, otters, people, yes people love fish whose source of food are from the ocean and river. Don't forget the huge giant manatees for they swallow your fish, schools of them at once. At one gulp they can have hundreds of salmons in for their lunch. Tens of thousands consumption in one day. Grabe di ba? Then add those albatross, eagles, and osprey, and other sea birds eyeing on our precious salmons. What else? Don't you ever think that penguins love fish too?

On sea lice and other bugs on the ocean? All I know the country Canada has water treatment facilities. There are experts who provide and maintain the cleanliness of our environment including the water reservoir. First thing first WATER is the most important resources of all. Without water there'll be no living things. Without water there'll be no oxygen. No air and no people. Please take good care of our WATER.  Treat them with respect.
