Dam!

DateSaturday, May 28, 2011 at 12:00AM

The operators of Pacific Aquaculture on the Columbia attempted to use the protection of endangered fish as an argument to cut the flows on the Grand Coulee dam that is killing their net penned fish.

Judge James Redden in Portland rejected the bid of a major regional seafood company to link the protection of the farmed fish to that of wild fish considered in jeopardy under the Endangered Species Act.

He said the company hadn't shown that the management of the dam in Washington state to prevent flooding in cities downstream had put any wild fish at risk.
