Effects of Polluted Stormwater on Salmon Vary by Species
- "WSU scientists have discovered that different species of salmon have varying reactions to polluted stormwater runoff. In a recent paper published in the journal Environmental Pollution, scientists found that coho salmon became sick and nearly died, within just a few hours of exposure to polluted stormwater. But chum salmon showed no signs of ill-effects after prolonged exposure to the same water." - Excerpt from Washington State University. Learn more about the causes and effects of stormwater here.
