Madam, - Anne Lucey's report in your edition of October 16th on the research relating to the mixing of salmon types was fine until someone added a picture of a Pacific salmon. Our native salmon are Atlantic salmon and have nothing to do with Pacific salmon.

The unfortunate thing is that a blown-up photograph of this self same salmon appeared on the previous day, October 15th, with an article by Ms Louise Holden. Don't you city folk know that the salmon season closed at the end of September and not even Pacific salmon should be required to work overtime in the close season? - Yours, etc.,
