Synopsis

This wide-ranging study describes the evolution, lifecycle and migration of the salmon, before reviewing the history of its exploitation as a food source. It surveys written accounts from Julius Caesar to Henry David Thoreau, and considers the impact of Arctic exploration and the colonization of North America before examining the environmental effects of salmon farming, over-fishing and climate change, and what can be done to mitigate them.
