Summary: A study by the Environmental Health Perspectives finds that pesticide combination's cause more harm to endangered salmon than individual pesticides do.

A collection of data was recorded to indicate which pestisides had harm on the fish. This doesn't affect me in the fact that I hate fish because they taste bad and smell even worse. But in the long run it does because it affects the food chain and it also indicates the pesticides that are bad for the fish are bad for the water and all others drinking the water. Pesticides would make it challenging for the species to recover and spread their eggs. The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) released a plan for protecting Pacific salmon and steelhead from three toxins.
The impacts of pesticides on salmon were reviewed and a conclusion indicated that they jeopardize the existence of these fish.
