Concern about the Alaskan Salmon

There has been a serious debate that arose these last couple of days about the fate of the wild salmon in Alaska. The federal courts were judging on whether or not a fatal virus has struck the salmon in that area. Some scientists think this virus has been present for a long time, but they think it has only recently mutated into a new strain. Additionally, the scientists are not even sure that this new virus is causing death in the salmon population. Another source of this debate are all the scientists who are questioning each other's data.
