Summary:

The introduction of 1.5 billion enhanced salmon per year from Alaskan salmon ranches, into the Gulf of Alaska, increases the competition, and depletes the available food for non-enhanced salmon from British Columbia, Washington, and Oregon, which perish prior to returning to their home rivers. The Gulf of Alaska has reached critical mass.
