How salmon help keep a huge rainforest thrivingthe Great bear Rainforest is vital to the health of the planet.

the perilous journey of the Pacific salmon from the sea through the forest rivers to spawn in its creeks.

The salmon run draws carnivores such as bears and wolves to the river bank, where they gorge on the migrating fish.

In this film, ecological economist Pavan Sukhdev, The Nature Conservancy's lead scientist Dr M Sanjayan and camerawoman Sophie Darlington talk about the salmon's unsung role in fertilising the forest.

The bears who feast on the spawning salmon don't eat on the river oe they drag the carcasses far into the forest.

The remains of the salmon contain vast quantities of nitrogen that plants need to grow.

Eighty percent of the nitrogen in the forest's trees comes from the salmon. In other words, these ocean dwellers are crucial for the forest's long-term survival.

#Genetically-Modified Salmon Will be First GM Animal Available for Human Consumption Genetically modified salmon could be on supermarket shelves within a year.

Usually Atlantic salmon do not grow during the winter and take three years to fully mature.

A salmon that grows at twice the normal rate is set to be the first genetically modified (GM) animal available for human consumption.

They hope that the sterile GM salmon can offer an efficient and safe way to breed salmon in fish farms

US watchdog the Food and Drug Administration is currently considering whether the GM Atlantic salmon, called Aquadvantage, is safe to eat.

and fear the sterile salmon will mutate in the wild and be breed able to. At the moment only GM CROPS like corn or soy are available for human consumption.

Aquabounty, the Massachusetts company behind the GM salmon, say the fish will be sterile and therefore poses no risk to the wild.

It poses far too great a risk to wild salmon. A fish that grows that quickly is likely to lose some of its environmental benefits.

In the summer the penguins dive for tiny lanternfishes about 250 miles (400 kilometers) from the archipelago returning every three to five days to feed their chicks.
