Are salmon renewable

Wild salmon stocks are managed for sustainability. Each salmon is hatched in a creek upriver. The salmon smolt (baby salmon) stay upriver for a year until they are strong enough to swim downstream to the ocean. They live in the ocean for several years getting big and strong, then they swim back upriver to the exact place they were born to lay their eggs (spawn) or fertilize the females eggs. These eggs later hatch and the cycle repeats. This process or cycle continues indefinitely supported by strong management practices through Fish and Game to ensure that man (commercial fishermen, sport fishermen, subsistence harvesters) does not take more salmon than is needed to ensure a healthy run return. Farmed salmon are not sustainable. They are raised then eaten. End of story.
