1. In the late '70s
the Atlantic Salmon fishery had yet to be exploited (read destroyed) because nobody knew where to catch them. The only salmon species to survive spawning (unlike the Pacific salmon) the Atlantics would go back to sea and thrive.

Following radio tagged Atlantics leaving the northeast rivers, they were found to propagate at the southwest corner of Greenland, if I recall correctly. Once their home feeding grounds were exposed that's all it took for this story to emerge 25 years later. Another fishery decimated and trashed.
