I too doubt that the contaminants will be removed, and I think that salmon fertilization is a well-intentioned mistake. As a fishery biologist friend said about some restoration projects: the road to hell is paved with good intentions. We know about many "restoration" projects from 20 years ago that have been cleaned up at greatMark Powellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10333424116503463839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22424144.post-72103685392360039612007-06-04T14:43:00.000-07:002007-06-04T14:43:00.000-07:00I wouldn't use this stuff in my garden, let alone ...I wouldn't use this stuff in my garden, let alone allow it in streams, because of the prevalence of heavy metals in sewage sludge.Fromartzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16789922860972843832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22424144.post-56509345113416953272007-06-04T07:24:00.000-07:002007-06-04T07:24:00.000-07:00Sounds very risky due to contaminants.

There are many streams that are lower in certain micronutrients, that used to be supplied by returning salmon and lamprey, and without this marine-derived- nutrient (MDN)young salmon may not have some essential micronutrients.
