| | | Even if, you have ANY idea of the quantities of Iron Sulfide required to do a program you're suggesting? They used 100 tons of the stuff, and 20 tons of Iron Oxide (Rust) and the result was nearly a quadrupling of Salmon runs last year. It will be hard to determine, without further research, how much of that increase was due to Haida's Iron fertilization experiment, but it more than can likely be credited to natural processes.
This year, the number of salmon caught in the northeast Pacific more than quadrupled, going from 50 million to 226 million. In the Fraser River, which only once before in history had a salmon run greater than 25 million fish (about 45 million in 2010), the number of salmon increased to 72 million. nationalreview.com

You know how many rusting vehicles we have in our junk yards? How many tons of Iron Oxide being deposited on the soil, or buried in landfills?
Do you know how much Ferrous (Iron) sulphate is priced at per ton? About $350 per ton..

That's $35,000 for 100 tonnes of the stuff. Then cost of ships, crew.. etc.. That's a price that could EASILY be made up for my additional taxes on salmon harvesting quotas.
You know what the value of 226 million Salmon (presumably 10-20 pounds each) are?
In other words, it could pay for itself.. at least there in British Columbia.
