Dead Salmon

Noticed these dead salmon on the beach near Comox Marina this morning. I put them in a plastic bag for now. Guessing best bet is to drop them off at DFO or ?? An eagle did get at one of them, otherwise the 3 seemingly fresh salmon and the one darker were all intact. I do have higher quality images but reduced these for the forum site (if interested).

Mature chum in April?? Probably dumped from someone's freezer

wouldn't they most likely have been processed (cleaned) if that were the case?
 
They all look previously frozen to me. Never the less it is not good to see and it is illegal to waist fish like that.
 
Dave, you are right-on. Not sure the Chumster is dark enough to come from a river. The rest look like bright SW fish.
