— The Supreme Court sided with the environment over electric power
Monday, ruling that state regulators may require a steady flow of water over
power dams to benefit fish and kayakers. <br>
<br>
The unanimous decision holds that states may protect the health of their
rivers, even though hydroelectric dams are regulated exclusively by the federal
government.<br>

May 6, 2006<br>
Fish Farmer Magazine</span></b><br>
Researchers at Oregon State University have discovered that the best way to
tell where an animal came from, such as salmon that scientists are trying to
track, may not be the genetics of the animal itself, but rather the parasites
that are hitching<br>
a ride.<br>
In a pioneering study that should give wildlife biologists an important new
tool to track migrating animals, the OSU researchers found that genetic
fingerprinting of<br>
parasites can be up to four times more effective for identifying the origin of
a host animal than the DNA of the host animal itself.<br>

meeting with Mark Limbaugh, assistant Secretary of Water and Science at the
U.S. Interior Department, and James E. Cason, associate deputy secretary and
acting assistant secretary of Indian Affairs at Interior.<br>
The meeting is in response to the tribe’s request that the Bureau of
Reclamation not renew the long-term contracts with the largest consumers of
irrigation water in the Central Valley until those contracts are revised to
protect the <st1:place w:st="on">Trinity River</st1:place>.<br>
<br>
According to a letter drafted April 19, 2006, by the Westlands Water District,
the district is disputing a Bureau of Reclamation designation that this
year’s water forecast is an “extremely wet year” rather than
a “wet year,” and are threatening litigation if the Bureau of
Reclamation does not change the language, thus allowing more water to be taken
from the river.<br>
