About this issue

The coastal indigenous peoples of Canada and Norway have in common a globalized salmon aquaculture industry. They are also linked by their reliance on the wild salmon—lineages of fish whose futures are intertwined with their own as indigenous peoples. In this volume of RCC Perspectives, diverse salmon cultures—from the aquaculture industry and biology, to northern Sami and First Nations—speak about life and work with salmon.
