Mike Ferguson, left, and John Taylor stocked 25,000 salmon at each site as part of the Ministry of Natural Resources plans to bring chinook salmon to the fishermen of Durham region. by Carolyn Hepburn Approximately 25,000 chinook salmon have made their debut into the waters of the Bowmanville Creek, but it will be several years before fishermen will cast their bait for them. The Ministry of Natural Resources let the fingerling chinook salmon loose into both the Oshawa Harbour and the Bowmanville Creek, on May 7. A total of about 52,000 young fish were stocked at the two sites. This was the first time that salmon have been stocked in the Lindsay area. One reason for their appearance appearance is the fact that fishermen are discovering their worth. "There are a slightly higher number of chinook returning each year," says John Taylor, Operational Manager for Ringwood Fish Culture Station. "Fishermen arc beginning beginning to ask for the salmon. They usually outweigh coho fish by 10 lbs.," Mr. Taylor said. The salmon weigh about five grams when they are released released into the water, and by year's end will weigh around one pound. They will slowly make their way through the feeder streams and out into Lake Ontario. After a period of four to five years, when they arc sexually matured matured they will make their way hack up the streams. They will start pooling in August at the mouth of the Bowmanville Creek and by the end of September, the hulk of the fish will arrive at the release area. Of the 50,000 fingerlings released, a survival rate of five to ten thousand is con- TIRE SALES INC. 576-1220 TRISUN tsnaiai RADIAI ALL SEASON 296 Dean Ave., sidered good. Once the chinook hit open water they will be prey for much larger fish, until they can start growing. The salmon eggs were collected collected at the Credit River in Streetsville, and stayed at the hatchery for six months before release. Arnie O'Donnell, Fish and Wildlife Management Officer, is pleased to see the salmon stocked. "We want to establish salmon salmon fishing in these areas," said Mr. O'Donnell. The last time he was involved involved in stocking the Bowmanville Bowmanville Creek was in 1975, when rainbow trout were released. Part of the funding for the stocking process comes from the $10 angler's license that must be purchased purchased by everyone 18 and older who wishes to do any kind of fishing. "The license fees are partly used for stocking, .and rehabilitation of the waterways," said Mr. O'Donnell. Cancer Prevention Diet In 1985, "Prevention" magazine compared the average American diet with a diet that would optimize a person's physical defences against cancer. The comparison examined both macronutrients - like proteins, fats, carbohydrates - and certain vitamins and minerals. According to this analysis, and supposing Canadian diets closely parallel those of our southern neighbors, we should reduce our daily protein intake by 20 to 40 grams and our fat intake by 100, if wc want to improve our odds against cancer. Some people consume thirty-five percent of their calorics each day in the form of saturated or mono- unsaturated fats, which contribute to high levels of cholesterol. Most people have 10 to 25 grams of fiber in their daily meals while 40 to 60 grams could reduce the chance of colon or rectal cancers. While wc often think of vitamins and minerals as a liny part of our actual food consumption, they are extremely important in the functioning of our organs, cells and muscles, and in our ability to fight infection and disease. The diet of the "average American" is sorely deficient in Vitamins E, C, and A with dietary increases recommended for all the B vitamins as well. Vitamin supplements alone are no guarantee against cancer, however, combined with reductions in fat, calories, and chemically processed foods, in increases in fiber, selenium and exercise, they can provide excellent anti-cancer "insurance". The propietor of your local health food store can answer your questions on nutrient supplementation and healthful eating. Of course smoking, excessive alcohol intake and exposure to highly toxic substances can be serious enemies to a healthy body. They arc not only destructive to the organs that must process them, but they can also nullify or interfere with the work of essential nutrients. Those truly concerned with good health avoid them as a first step toward self- preservation. * courtesy of the Canadian Health Food Association and tills newspaper.
