Also known as pukkellaks or humpback salmon, for their characteristic bulge, pink salmon were introduced into the Kola peninsula in Russia in the 1950s in an attempt to stimulate the economy. They live in oceans and swim up the same rivers every two years to lay their eggs and then die.<\/p>\n<p>Experts worry about the impact of the Pacific pink salmon on the local Atlantic species, which are already struggling. So far this year there have been low numbers of Atlantic salmon, sea trout and char caught in several rivers in Norway, causing fishing to be halted before the end of the season. In Finland, Atlantic salmon numbers had already fallen so low that most fishing of the species has been banned for the past two years. Between 2021 and 2022 the estimated number of female Atlantic salmon in Finnish rivers fell between 42% and 78%, depending on the river, compared with the previous average, according to a national report that called the changes \u201cgrim\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>In their vast numbers, their rotting bodies provide a vast hit of extra nutrition for fish predators and disproportionately increase their populations. Large numbers of decaying fish throughout autumn could reduce oxygen levels in the water, too, and release unknown nutrients in the river and riverbank soil. What\u2019s more, Atlantic salmon young have been feeding on the eggs of pink salmon, while ravens, crows and seagulls are feeding on the carcasses \u2013 not to mention red foxes and brown bears, whose populations could jump as a result without other predators to keep them in check.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/environment\/2023\/oct\/02\/it-smells-so-bad-glut-of-wild-salmon-creates-stink-in-norway-and-finland\">Guardian<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/4-407\/\">\u2018It smells so bad\u2019: glut of wild salmon creates stink in Norway and Finland<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,586,1014,11685],"class_list":["post-117336","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-finland","tag-norway","tag-wild-salmon"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117336","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=117336"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117336\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=117336"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=117336"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=117336"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
