DNA Study Uncovers Secrets of Washington State's Culvert Spawning Salmon
Scientists in Washington state have made an incredible discovery: they’ve found a species of salmon spawning in a culvert beneath a highway! This is the first time in recorded history that this species of salmon, the Chinook, has been observed using a culvert for spawning. This discovery, made by researchers from the University of Washington, has the potential to change the way we think about salmon conservation and the habitats they inhabit. With the right conservation strategies, culverts across the state could become important spawning grounds for salmon. This discovery is a reminder of the importance of preserving natural habitats so that species can thrive.
