Report: California fish face extinction on increased level unless trends change
May 17, 2017 by Denis Cuff, East Bay Times

Nearly half of California's diverse types of native salmon, steelhead and trout are headed toward extinction in 50 years unless environmental trends are reversed, a team of scientists warn in a new report.

And nearly three-fourths - 21 of 31 types-will disappear in a century unless people figure out how to manage harm linked to dams, water diversions, habitat damage, global warming and other problems, said the scientists from the University of California, Davis and the CalTrout conservation group in the report released Tuesday.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

You mean, they're gonna be even more extinct than they would be otherwise?

Yeah, that headline does sound just as stupid as I thought it did.

Wow, you mean that that old tech used in fish farms to raise and increase diverse types of fish has been lost to us? Fish can only exist in the wild, without any intrusion of man? Something smells quite strongly of bovine excrement.
