| Impact Description | Salmon are semelparous, which means they migrate upstream to spawn and die shortly afterwards. The migration of salmon upstream to spawn and die creates a carcass-loading event in a small geographic area. Recent literature has suggested that spawning salmon are a potential contaminant biovector. |
