At the height of the salmon migration and spawning season, which often draws hundreds of thousands of spectators across B.C., the Alouette River Management Society (ARMS) has come out with a list of tips to help people enjoy the majesty of the fish without disrupting or harming the wildlife.

With more than 6.8 million sockeye salmon returning on the Fraser River this year, according to the Pacific Salmon Commission, there is going to be a significant number of salmon eggs along stream beds. That香蕉视频直播檚 why ARMS is recommending that spectators stay out of the streams when viewing the salmon.

They also provided a tip specifically for anyone who plans to bring their dog with them on salmon viewings.

However, ARMS recommends that viewers exercise this abundance of caution, regardless of whether or not they have pets or small children with them.

Despite initial concerns over the effects of the drought on the salmon population, ARMS reports that the salmon numbers are improving now.

The returning adult spawners all appear to be in good shape physically.香蕉视频直播�
