Chunk Targets a Back-to-Back Fat Bear Week Title as Online Voting Opens

Online voting opened for Fat Bear Week at Katmai National Park, where 1,200-pound Chunk (Bear 32) seeks to defend his crown in a 16-bear bracket; fans vote based on before-and-after photos and backstories rather than official weights, as the bears fatten on sockeye salmon in summer before winter hibernation, with the winner crowned on Sept. 29.

Salmon, Eagles, and the Living Web of Alaska’s Eagle River

In Alaska’s Eagle River near Juneau, a summer segment follows a connected web of wildlife—bears and bald eagles—driven by spawning salmon; their nutrients nourish the forest and sustain local communities, while warming rivers threaten salmon runs and could reshape habitats, underscoring the need to protect wild salmon as a foundation of rural life.

North East rivers see dip in sea trout and salmon as counters falter

Counters monitoring sea trout and salmon in the River Tees, Wear and Tyne show declining numbers, with some counters non-operational or reading only estimates; the Environment Agency says it’s too early to draw conclusions but is continuing to monitor, repair equipment, and improve habitats to aid spawning. The Tyne is England’s best salmon river but could lose its 'not at risk' status by 2029 as egg deposition falls, and July counts were well below 2022 levels (Tyne 6,471 vs 11,845). The Tees recorded very low counts earlier in the year, while the Wear counter has been out of action since 2025. Unfavourable conditions and alternative migration routes may also be at play.

Robotic Sensors Uncover the Real Killers of Salmon at Dams: Pressure, Not Blades

Sensor Fish robots tracked what salmon experience in dam turbines and, when echoed in lab tests, showed that rapid decompression and gas emboli from swim-bladder expansion—driven by Boyle’s law—kill juvenile salmon far more often than blade strikes; this led to pressure-based turbine redesigns and the use of neutrally buoyant external tags to reduce mortality and improve survival estimates.

Four Fish to Maximize Protein and Omega-3 Intake

The Health article names four fish as top sources of protein and omega-3 fatty acids while noting mercury content varies by species. It highlights salmon, sardines, tuna (with skipjack noted as lower in mercury), and halibut for notable nutrients, and provides per‑serving nutrition (e.g., 3 oz of Atlantic wild salmon: ~155 calories, 21.6 g protein, 1.8 g omega-3) along with tips to choose lower‑mercury options, cook healthily (grill/bake/steam), and balance omega-3 intake with protein goals for heart and overall health.

Eat to Ease Aches: 7 Foods That Cut Inflammation in About 10 Days

Experts highlight seven foods that may reduce inflammation and pain—salmon (omega-3s), blueberries (anthocyanins), extra-virgin olive oil (oleocanthal), leafy greens and cruciferous vegetables, beans, fermented foods, and healing spices (turmeric, ginger, cinnamon). Used in a Mediterranean-style pattern and alongside limiting inflammatory triggers like refined sugars and processed oils, these foods can lower inflammatory markers and may show benefits in about 10 days, with stronger results in 6–8 weeks.

BP-Busting Dinner: Salmon, Spinach & Sweet Potatoes

Nutrition experts say the best dinner to lower blood pressure is a heart-healthy plate of salmon, spinach and sweet potatoes, delivering omega-3 fats, potassium, magnesium, fiber, and plant nitrates to help blood vessels relax; prepare with minimal salt and flavorful herbs, or opt for other BP-friendly dinners like chili with beans, herb-roasted chicken with brown rice, or a veggie pasta Primavera.

El Niño Could Upend California’s Crab and Salmon Fleets

With an 81% chance of a 'super' El Niño, researchers warn California’s crab and salmon fleets could face disruptions similar to 2015–16, as warmer oceans shift species, blunt juvenile salmon growth, and delay crab seasons (including toxic bloom-caused closures); relief funds for affected fishermen have often arrived only years later, threatening livelihoods.

Great White Emerges from Salmon Swarm: Dramatic Drone Footage at Jervis Bay

Award-winning photographer Jordan Robins captured a dramatic drone video at Jervis Bay as a 4-meter great white shark parted a dense school of Australian salmon and swam among them for about a minute before moving back to deeper water, marking one of his most incredible wildlife encounters.

Egg-Protein Alternatives: Foods That Beat an Egg for Protein Power

Nutrition experts say a large egg’s ~6g of protein can be surpassed by a wide range of foods, with the top options per 3‑ounce serving including canned tuna (20–22g), salmon (20g), firm tofu (20g), shrimp (18–20g), and lentils (18g); other solid options are edamame, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, dairy milk, quinoa, and pumpkin seeds. The article notes tuna’s mercury caution and highlights the benefits of diverse protein sources to cover all essential amino acids and other nutrients, alongside the 1.2–1.6 g/kg body weight daily protein guideline.

Rivers Reawaken: Nations Tear Down Hundreds of Dams to Restore Life

A European dam-removal surge in 2025 saw a record 603 dams and barriers removed across 21 countries, reconnecting more than 3,740 kilometers of rivers and enabling migratory fish like salmon to reclaim spawning grounds, with Finland’s Hiitolanjoki system and France’s Vezins cited; Sweden led removals with 173 barriers, and the EU’s Nature Restoration Regulation targets 25,000 km of rivers by 2030. While the benefits to biodiversity and flood resilience are clear, projects require years of planning, sediment management, and ongoing maintenance; the trend mirrors US successes on the Klamath and Elwha rivers, showing rapid ecosystem recovery once barriers come down.

Ancient Salmon Cans Hint at Ocean Health

A 42-year baseline study of 178 cans of salmon from the Gulf of Alaska and Bristol Bay found anisakid worms—parasites that require marine mammals to reproduce—are more common in chum and pink salmon from 1979–2021, while levels in coho and sockeye remained steady, suggesting a relatively healthy marine ecosystem and signaling that policies protecting marine life and water quality may be supporting ocean health.

Salmon Exposed to Cocaine Swim Farther, Signaling Environmental Drug Pollution

A study of 105 wild Atlantic salmon in Sweden’s Lake Vattern found fish exposed to cocaine and its metabolite benzoylecgonine swam about 1.9 times farther per week than unexposed fish, with the metabolite exposure adding roughly 7.6 extra miles — highlighting how pharmaceuticals in waterways are altering wildlife behavior and underscoring the need for improved wastewater treatment and monitoring, with related notes on sharks also ingesting drugs in other regions.
