Farnham Angling Society Species - Common Carp
The breeding of these carp to initially obtain pure red carp and other colours, subsequently leading over time to the distinct patterns that has led to Koi becoming so popular worldwide with fish keepers today, originated in Niigata on the north western coast of Japan at the end of the 17th and start of the 18th centuries. Due to the consistent in-breeding that has taken place with Koi Carp, purebred Koi are generally weaker, slower growing and more susceptible to disease than their ancestral cousins that tend to have stronger genes
Effects of Fishing for Wild Seafood from the Seafood Watch Program at the Monterey Bay Aquarium
Out of Sight, Out of Mind? Because the oceans seem so vast and their resources limitless, these threats are often "out of sight, out of mind." But overfishing issues are not just for future generations to endure; they're very real problems threatening our current seafood supply and the health of our oceans. The breeding population of Pacific bluefin tuna is now at only four percent of its original size, and decline will continue without significant, immediate management changes

The Salton Sea, southeast California
The rotting remains of several mobile homes and wooden dwellings are buried to depths of 6 feet or so, and the water's edge is lined with a variety of other derelict structures including an old crane, barely recognisable beneath its thick salt encrustations. So although a few hardy people still swim in the Salton Sea, and the lakeshore towns are home to a population of several thousand, leisure activities are quite restricted - photography and bird watching are the main pursuits nowadays

Isolated and stupefyingly hot (more than 100 days a year over 100 degrees and temperatures well into the 120s during the summer months are common), very few people could stand to be in this part of the world until the waters came. The much smaller Brown Pelican die-off of the late nineties received massive media exposure and brought the plight of the Salton Sea into living rooms all across America
Shrinking Salton Sea - "The Accidental Sea" faces a looming calamity as coastal Southern California clamors for more water - Pictures - CBS News
Colorado River water is diverted near Yuma, Arizona, to an 82-mile canal that runs west along the Mexican border and then north into 1,700 miles of gated dirt and concrete channels that crisscross farms. Viewed from the air, the Imperial Valley's half-million acres of verdant fields end abruptly in pale dirt.San Diego now purchases more than one-quarter of its water from the valley, where runoff from nearby farms delivers 70 percent of the lake's inflows.Water diversions from the valley to coastal urban use is contributing to the Salton Sea drying up

Endangered and Sensitive Species, Fish and Wildlife Service
Nest burrows are very distinctive because the owls line the entrance with material such as cow-manure, insect parts, cotton, dead toads, plastic and tin foil. The decline of the mountain plover is an early warning that the replacement of many native grasslands with urban development or grazing and farming practices, are hindering the survival of the short-grass prairie

This location, coupled with an elevation of 227 feet below sea level, results in extremely low annual precipitation and extremely high day time temperatures. Spiny soft-shell turtles are found in freshwater drains and ponds, while the desert tortoise, although rarely seen, can be found in the upland desert areas
Continued filling of the Salton Sink was finally stopped in 1907, when a line of protective levees was built by boxcars dumping boulders into the breach from Southern Pacific tracks. Almost the entire flow of the river filled the Salton Basin for more than a year, inundating communities, farms and the main line of the Southern Pacific Railroad
Sometimes the fish prefer a slow, steady retrieve, sometimes they want the lure bouncing along the bottom, and sometimes they respond to a quick mid-water retrieve. The bites tend to be very soft, so a heavy drag setting and a stout graphite rod of seven to eight feet will help set the hook when you get picked up on the cast or the troll.The Salton Sea isn't for everyone
