Fish-Species quest cut short
The B.C. fisheries ministry has eliminated the jobs of three research scientists whose task is to identify sensitive fish species in B.C. waters and come up with ways to protect them. One of the scientists, Gordon Haas, is a taxonomist who specializes in identifying and describing new species of fish. Many of the fish species which have been identified in B.C. occur nowhere else in the world, and are vulnerable, threatened, endangered or already extinct. Without these three scientists, the Fisheries Ministry has no one to identify these species and find ways to prevent more extinctions.
