” According to the federal government, one Bonneville regular (C265) was captured on March 6, 2007. He weighed 559 pounds. He was released, and he returned to the dam. Captured, again, on May 21, 2007, he weighed in at 1,043 pounds!”
I posted last week, when confronted by a Fish and Game zealont while I’m fishing with a single legal salmon or steelhead barbless fly on the end of my line, I ask them how much salmon and steelhead does a 500 to 1000 pound Seal Lion need to eat to survive.
To calculate the salmon calories needed by this hog with fins to gain 500 pounds in 2.4 months, we would need a Krey Computer and advanced Calculus.
.....we would need a Krey Computer and advanced Calculus...
Purely arithmatic
From the net.... raw salmon 99 calories/3 oz portion
16/3= 5.33 servings per pound * 99 =527.7 calories /pound
527.7*500 pounds=283850 calories total gain
2,4 months 8 30 days = 70 days
28350/70= 4055 calories /day
The next price is no fishing for humans, thus small rural communities will lose good jobs as local restaurants and other stores will close.
Then the Hollyweird crowd can buy up these towns for eco-lodges selling pc t-shirts.
