The Pacific salmon is now B.C.’s official fish.
The salmon was proclaimed the provincial fish symbol to “recognize the high ecological, cultural and economic significance of the Pacific salmon to British Columbians,” the government said in a media release Wednesday.
The move will add salmon to the province’s existing list of official floral (Pacific dogwood), mineral (jade), bird (Steller’s jay), tree (western red cedar) and mammal (spirit bear) emblems.
