"We have declared a war on Pink salmon” Norway fights the invasive species in the Arctic.

The invasion of Pink salmon or the so-called 'Russian' salmon, has become a huge problem in the north of Norway. This invasive species swims up Norwegian rivers to spawn, then dies and rots in rivers afterward, thus polluting the environment and endangering one of the most precious Norwegian fish - the Atlantic salmon.
In this report we speak to the Norwegian government, explore the anti-Pink salmon trap and also go on a fascinating scientific journey with biologists to the rivers along the Norwegian border with Russia.

[@eskokauppila1327]

About 10 years, fishers have taken 'mother'- and 'father'atlanticsalmons 6-20kg fish, which grow the population, why? Pinksalmon, ofcourse are afraid of 2kg bigger fish!

[@AAtonyAA]

bruh pink salmon defiantly arent afraid of other salmon its cuz the warmer waters and that they where release in russia you not listen

[@eskokauppila1327]

there were 2021 in summer about 30 000 fishmen fishing 50 000 upstream swiming salmons "in utsjokibridge" 50 000-30 000=20 000>2022= -10 000 fish=stones

Hope they don't succeed

[@johnnyappleseed.4420]

How dare those salmon die and fetlize your rivers and Forests. Lol
I understand their invasive but dont blame fish for pollution. My god.

[@AAtonyAA]

exactly i was like no way they pollute they just replace the dying out atlantic salmon the river provides for itself

[@taff6987]

I thought this as well. When the fish spawns and dies it's body breaks down and all the nutrients from that fish will nourish the ecosystem of that river. How do these people not know this!? 😮
Messing with nature again. Here in Wales UK our Atlantic salmon numbers have virtually disappeared. About 50 years ago right up until around the early to mid 2000s we had some of the best salmon and sea trout fishing in Europe.
Now people are very lucky to catch a salmon but they are in such small numbers that responsible anglers return the salmon to the river. It is LAW here in Wales.
If a pink salmon is caught then it must be killed immediately and left at the riverbank. Crazy, if it is caught by rod & line and it "has to be killed" then why can't the fisherman take that one home to feed his family. I just don't know with this world anymore!🥴
