She also provided transportation for BOF personnel to and from the Afognak Lake salmon hatchery. In 1935 she began fishery patrols along the Alaska Peninsula. While she was hauled out of the water for the 1938–1939 offseason, Red Wing suffered damage during an earthquake in the spring of 1939. As a result, she performed poorly on patrol during the 1939 fishing season, and the BOF cut her service short that year.

Mining began at Salmon Falls in 1848, and the town was founded in 1850. The post office arrived in 1851, and remained in operation until 1912, with closures during parts of 1875 and 1893. Salmon Falls, California was an old mining town established along the banks of the American River at the mouth of Sweetwater Creek (northeast of present-day Folsom, California). Since the construction of Folsom Dam in the 1950s (which created Folsom Lake) Salmon Falls is typically immersed in water throughout much of the year.

The lake salmon occurs in the pelagic zone of Lake Malawi, over sandy substrates. The juvenile fish stay close inshore near the mouths of the tributary rivers. The adults feed on small pelagic fishes, especially Engraulicypris sardella, while the juveniles feed on plankton, insects and other small organic matter. During the rainy season the adult fish migrate up the tributary rivers from the lake to spawn, this mainly takes place at night in shallow, well- oxygenated, flowing waters over gravel substrates with no silt.

Stoney Lake was known to early European settlers as Salmon Trout Lake, but the modern name is fully appropriate. The lake actually consists of Stony Lake for the western and southern arms, the east arm is Stoney Lake. Salmon trout are no longer evident, but islands and shoals are everywhere. Today, Stoney Lake represents the classic Ontario ‘cottage country’, enjoyed by its many seasonal residents, by an increasing number of year-round residents, by boaters using the Trent-Severn Waterway, sport fishermen and many others.

Salmon drying on fish racks along the Chilkoot River, August 1911 The river and its precincts, known as the Chilkoot River Corridor, have been brought under the monitoring of the Chilkoot River Corridor Strategic Planning Project (CRC) to preserve its ecological and historical heritage. A fishing weir has also been constructed on the river to monitor and count fish moving from the lake into the lower reaches of the Chilkoot River and the Chilkoot Inlet.

The Middle River, or in the Carrier language (Dakelh) Dzitl'ainli Koh, is a river in the Omineca Country of the northwestern Central Interior of British Columbia, Canada, flowing southeast from the outlet of Takla Lake into Trembleur Lake over a distance of approximately .

The community of Middle River, including the Dzitline Lee Indian Reserve 9. O K'Ay Wha Cho 26, another Indian Reserve, is located on the west bank of the river between Takla and Trembleur Lakes.

The lake salmon is threatened by overfishing and there are very high mortality rates in adult fish during the spawning season as the rivers are often totally blocked with weirs and with gill nets which prevents the fish from running upstream, especially during years of low rainfall. Other threats include deliberate poisoning and the deterioration of the spawning grounds due to siltation from soil erosion caused by deforestation and agriculture, which also causes habitat deterioration as water is abstracted from the breeding streams for irrigation and this makes it difficult for the juveniles to return to the lake from the spawning areas. It is caught using ring nets and by angling. The Bua river runs through the Nkhotakota Wildlife Reserve in central Malawi and this is the only river where the spawning grounds are protected because the surrounding woodlands are protected from clearing.
