A new salmon surveillance system is coming to the Colquitz River in Saanich, B.C., replacing what had become a death trap for the returning fish.
The Salmon in the City project and Fisheries and Oceans Canada are working together to install a motion sensitive fish counting camera in order to monitor returning salmon.
In recent years, however, hungry otters have discovered that the trapped salmon were a quick and easy meal, killing many of them before they could spawn. The new camera will record several frames per second when triggered which can be reviewed at any time, allowing observers to scan through the footage and record important information.
"We will be able to review the footage so that we know the gender, the species, the age, whether there’s an adipose fin, that kind of information," she said.
