He really means "the Atlantic
salmon that got away" —but what
has Domtar to do with salmon?
Simply this: Domtar is building two
Atlantic salmon reafing.staticins
on both shores of the lower St.
Lawrence. Why? Because Domtar
is concerned about the alarming
decline of the salmon population in
our rivers, and has decided to do
something save this delicious
fish from extinction„
When in full operation, the two
stations, at Bale Trinite and Rivibre
Madeleine, will produce 165,000
young salmon annually for the
benefit of sportsmen and
commercial fishermen. So "the
Dpmtar that got away" will, in a few
ybars, be a common fish story. And
beautiful salmon will be around'for
a long time.
