Nick,
I myself did a pretty thorough search for a decent Atlantic salmon
illustration for a display I designed here in Alaska; this was a couple
of years ago.
If you want any more info on what to look for in resources and who has
already done good Atlantic salmon, you can contact me personally.
There is a big difference in how the farmed Atlantics look compared to
the wild, for one thing. Good luck, Catie

Hi Frank,
Thanks so much for your advice-- do you know of any online resources
comparable to the GAG text?
Thanks,
Nick
