• Man Pleads Guilty to Endangered-Fish Charges

BANGOR - A Dover-Foxcroft man who was selling Atlantic salmon he had taken from the Piscataquis River in August 2009 waived indictment and pleaded guilty Monday in U.S. District Court in Bangor. Mark Cox, 40, who pleaded guilty to a violation of the Lacey Act, which is taking, selling or attempting to sell an endangered species, is expected to be sentenced in the spring. He was released on personal recognizance bail with conditions, including cooperation in the collection of a DNA sample if authorities request it and advising the court and the U.S. Attorney's Office in writing if his address or telephone number changes.

But in just a few short decades, its survival has been jeopardized by staggering urban development that has dammed, diverted and polluted its native waters.

• Property-Rights Lawyers Score One Against Wild Salmon; Court Rulings Force Re-Evaluation of Endangered Fish and Habitat in the Northwest

For years, the agency has measured the vitality of 27 threatened or endangered salmon and steelhead populations by counting only wild fish. Now, it also wants to count the millions of hatchery-raised fish that are dumped into streams every year (HCN, 8/19/02). Since the hatchery fish far outnumber the wild fish, that may obscure declines in the wild populations. And since hatchery fish are reared in concrete tanks rather than in streams, the new rules could loosen restrictions on logging and development around salmon habitat. As for the hatchery fish, a campaign to reform hatchery management has reduced the differences between them and wild fish in some places. But more reliance on hatchery fish "won't fix the real problems facing salmon -- the dams (impeding migration) and habitat degr...
