Video Explores the Fate of Ito, One of World’s Largest Species of Salmon

A recently published video on YouTube chronicles the struggles of Ito, or the Sakhalin taimen. Like many tales of struggling species of fish, the Japanese rivers Ito call home have been reengineered by humans and warmed by climate change. CFL associate professor, Olaf Jensen, helped conduct surveys of this endangered species and one of Jensen’s graduate students, Lucas Fisher, narrates the video. Enjoy the important story and the gorgeous videography!
