Wanted: Escaped salmon

Like a cowboy on a steel horse you ride, a bunch of salmon are wanted, preferably alive.

According to The Guardian, about 27,000 farmed salmon escaped from a cage owned by the Mowi seafood company in Norway.

If you happen to catch one of these salmon on the run, Mowi will reward you with 500 Norwegian kroner, which is about $45.

While the idea of an Old West wanted posted featuring a drawing of a salmon, possibly wearing a cowboy hat, may be funny, escaped farmed salmon pose environmental issues, including reduction of genetic diversity.

Those who recapture the lost salmon can deliver them to local fish “reception centers.”
