There has never been a fish on earth that we humans haven’t been fascinated with and simply loved to death. The Romans on their conquest of Europe and the British Isles saw them leaping tall waterfalls and named them “salar”- the leaper . Gaulish Aquitania clans and tribes swore allegiance to the god Salmo rather than to Caesar, and thus perished by the sword .

Early cave dwelling Neanderthals drew etchings of salmon at the caves of Lascaux in France near the River Vézère . When cave dwellers needed food for winter , salmon ran up rivers by the thousands all the way up to the Alps and throughout Europe. First Nations Indigenous peoples relied on the runs of salmon in North America /Greenland-and northern Europe. Royalty built castles and large land holdings on Atlantic salmon rivers, which are heavily controlled and coveted even to this day- the royal’s Balmoral estate in Scotland is one such example. Salmon traded equally with gold in Rome during the empire and their wealth as a commodity today is immeasurable to populations and communities around the globe, from the Canadian Maritimes to Iceland/ Scotland/Norway/ Russia . Today, , besides being one of the most highly sought after game fish for fly fishers and commercial fisherman alike, their gastronomical delights appeal to palates and chefs that crave them for their delicious flesh-omega 3 for heart health benefits/Keto diets. But can this insatiable consumption be sustained by what is left in the oceans? Each time you order salmon in the restaurants you are part of the problem; and also part of the solution to saving them, and hopefully putting an end to disease filled farm raised salmon. Nevertheless , they are being driven to endangerment and extinction in some ecosystems.
