	From Bus to Pinks

Wheat ship preparing to load – note the ‘water line’ at arrow – must have pumped out into harbour recently – this is mechanism for Invasive species if ballast water exchange not done correctly

We See around PR

· So does same multinational own both Greyhound and Farwest (First Canada)?

· Plus what happened to Bus shelter on 3^rd?

· And what made Area 6 Pinks come back so much better than elsewhere SST?

Greyhound and First Canada (the old Farwest) appear to be owned by same multinational based in UK FirstGroup PLC ---

So who owns the Buses? And why was Greyhound asking for a subsidy – Profits hurt in downturn?

	Sick sense of humor to left and why is bus shelter taken down? Will it be replaced?

We see from previous that Area 6 Pink Salmon ‘made’ the season for both fishers and local canneries

Pink Salmon in Area 6 – Seine catch below

But what was different/ unique about Area 6? – Some of the earlier Science work suggests that Pink salmon do well ‘regionally’ but not especially when compared across regions – and that the seawater temperature (SSTs) when juveniles go to see is the critical element that ‘determines’ subsequent adult returns (catch)

Spatial hierarchical Bayesian models for stock–recruitment analysis of pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) by Zhenming Su, Randall M. Peterman, and Steven L. Haeseker Can. J. Fish. Aquat. Sci. 61: 2471–2486 (2004)

Here is a paper that makes the case – For the time I just want to emphasize the cross regional aspect when compared over numerous years

(I have excerpted BC part of table above )—Area 6 has blue arrow in graph below

	Comparing different areas
	For the moment it does not matter what the bars etc denote – but see how Area 6 and 2E are almost transitions to SE Alaska as one might expect
