"Pacific salmon have now been extirpated from nearly 40 percent of their historical habitat in the Pacific Northwest. Nearly half the remaining populations are at a risk of extinction. The threats to salmon span almost every major freshwater ecosystem from the Los Angeles River to Canada. The crisis has made the unthinkable seem all too possible: a Pacific Northwest without salmon." (AMERICAN SCIENTIST) This article investigates the threateningly low levels of genetic diversity left within many salmon species.
