Because all sockeye salmon die after spawning, and always in the same year that they attain maturity, the number of mature fish in the population is usually estimated as the number of fish that survive to spawn. In most populations, this is roughly equivalent to the numbers that survive coastal fisheries and reach their natal spawning habitat(called the "spawning escapement"). 4, record 2, English, - spawning%20escapement

Exhibition of the Canadian Museum of Civilization. "Created by two waves of immigration that ended more than 30 years ago, Canada's Italian community has reached an important moment in its history. While the immigrants who came during the first migratory wave(1880 to the late 1920s) have already disappeared, those who arrived during the second wave(1947 to the late 1960s) are an increasingly ageing population. As their numbers gradually decrease in the coming years, the last living witnesses of the multiple peasant cultures from which most Italian-Canadians descended will disappear as well. The exhibition offers the visitor a new look at these cultures that are too often relegated to the past. " 1, record 16, English, - Presenza%3A%20A%20new%20look%20at%20Italian%2DCanadian%20Heritage

Exposition du Musée canadien des civilisations. «Formée à partir d'une immigration qui a pris fin il y a plus de 30 ans, la communauté italienne du Canada se trouve à un moment important de son histoire. Alors que les immigrants arrivés lors de la première vague migratoire (1880 - fin des années 1920) sont déjà disparus, ceux arrivés lors de la deuxième vague (1947 - fin des années 60) se font de plus en plus vieillissants. Avec leur progressive disparition dans les années à venir, s'effaceront aussi les derniers témoignages vivants des multiples cultures paysannes desquelles les Italo-Canadiens sont majoritairement issus. L'exposition proposera au visiteur un nouveau regard sur ces cultures trop souvent reléguées à un passé révolu.» 1, record 16, French, - Presenza%20%2D%20Nouveau%20regard%20sur%20l%27h%C3%A9ritage%20italo%2Dcanadien

To control rabies in free-ranging animals, health officials in the 1950s had depended on thinning populations that harbored the offending virus. They tried gassing of dens, poisoning, trapping and shooting, among other tactics... Biologists reviewing some 10 years of experience with population-reduction programs for foxes, skunks and raccoons concluded that to improve the success rate, enormous numbers of animals would have to be killed. Because the species reproduce prolifically, destruction of more than 60 percent of a population would often be required to ensure that eradication of rabies persisted beyond one reproductive cycle... 1, record 20, English, - population%2Dreduction%20program
