SALMON JUMP FOR FOOD AT FARM IN SOUTHERN CHILE

A salmon jumps for food pellets thrown by a Chilean worker into a tank
anchored at the Pacific port of Chacabuco, some 1, 800 kilometers south of
Santiago, September 16, 2003. From this new frontier of salmon farming,
where snowcapped peaks descend into deep fjords and nutrient-rich currents,
Chile is set to take over Norway as the worlds largest producer of farmed
salmon, but not without criticism. NO RIGHTS CLEARANCES OR PERMISSIONS ARE REQUIRED FOR THIS IMAGE REUTERS/Carlos

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing sight of a salmon leaping out of the water in search of food at a farm in southern Chile. The image showcases the incredible agility and determination of these magnificent creatures as they propel themselves into the air to catch pellets thrown by a diligent Chilean worker. Taken at the Pacific port of Chacabuco, located approximately 1,800 kilometers south of Santiago, on September 16,2003, this snapshot offers a glimpse into Chile's burgeoning salmon farming industry. Nestled amidst snowcapped peaks and deep fjords with nutrient-rich currents, this region has become a new frontier for salmon production. With ambitions to surpass Norway as the world's largest producer of farmed salmon, Chile's rapid growth in this sector is not without controversy. While it presents an opportunity for economic prosperity and job creation, critics raise concerns about environmental impact and sustainability practices. Photographer Carlos Barria masterfully captures both the beauty and complexity surrounding this booming industry through his lens. His skillful composition allows viewers to appreciate not only the sheer power exhibited by these jumping salmon but also invites contemplation on mankind's delicate balance between progress and responsibility towards our natural resources. This thought-provoking image serves as a reminder that even within seemingly mundane moments like feeding fish at a farm, there are profound stories waiting to be told.
