Most of the salmon caught in California come from hatcheries in the Sacramento Valley, yet it turns out we don't know much about these fish even though we breed them by hand.
Edy Flores casts his fishing line where the American and Sacramento rivers join. New research on the state's 40 million-strong salmon run recommends that the eight hatcheries begin tagging the entire run each year to help track them. Much of the salmon's ocean life remains a mystery before they return to spawn.
