Notes

This paper is an account of the first attempts to naturalize Pacific salmon (Oncorynchus spp.) outside of their home range. The experiment spanned ten years in the late nineteenth century, a time when thousands of plant and animal species were successfully adapted to new homelands. In this context, dispersal of the salmon was a squib in the ecological explosion. The first facility for collection of salmon eggs was built on the McCloud River, a tributary of the Sacramento, in 1872.
