The carcasses of adult salmon also provide essential nutrients for local plant life and aquatic insects.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li>The sheer number of pink salmon also enhances the natural cleaning service performed by all salmon in brushing the surface of gravel beds. This is essential because clean gravel is needed for the next generation\u2019s salmon egg survival and for production of aquatic insects.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"6\">\n<li>Pink salmon are second only to coho salmon in their geographic distribution throughout B.C., and are especially important to coastal ecosystems of B.C.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"7\">\n<li>Pink salmon can return in very large numbers, so they can be sustainably harvested without damage to the overall resilience of the population.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"8\">\n<li>Pink salmon only return to the Fraser in substantial numbers in odd-years and this remains one of the great mysteries for the next generation of biologists.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"9\">\n<li>The pinks\u2019 position on the marine food chain allows them to have a smaller ecological \u201cfin\u201d print per fish, so consuming a pink salmon will make a smaller impact on the environment than consuming other species of salmon.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"10\">\n<li>Pinks are less expensive than other salmon, and are therefore more affordable for consumers.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We love salmon and rain or shine we&#8217;ll be checking this out this weekend.\u00a0 In a year that has been particularly challenging for salmon, the Pacific Salmon Foundation\u00a0 is asking for your help in celebrating salmon\u2019s most abundant species.
