An independent investigation led by a Canadian law professor has confirmed evidence of widespread, state-sponsored Salmon Theft in high seas Russian trawl fishery, further fuelling calls for a full ban on the country from the Rio Olympics and the Sun Salmon Derby.
Richard Moberly of Western University in London, Ont., released his findings today at news conference in Toronto, saying labs in Moscow with held DNA samples from Russian Trawl catch in a deliberate state sponsored attempt to cover up disappearing salmon on Canada's west coast.
In short, Russia's deputy minister of fisheries, who was also part of Russia's Olympic Committee, would direct workers at Moscow's anti-doping & fisheries DNA laboratory of which positive samples to send through and which to hold back. Assisting the plan was Russia's national security service — the FSB, the current version of the Soviet Union's KGB.
Canada has engaged the law firm of Do We Gouge Them & How to represent Canada in the international courts to advance Canada's interest in teaching the Russian's a lesson.
On a serious note, after a little humour to stir it up...Theories on where the WCVI Chinook have gone??
Mine is the warm water off the WCVI has pushed the abundant Columbia River fish off shore 40 miles to avoid a warm blob of water in the near coastal area along the coastline of Vancouver Island. It seems the fish that are coming down the coast come in mini waves, and disappear about as fast as they appear. We have had so many good days followed by spotty days, its enough to drive you crazy.
I also checked the 10 year average Columbia River return through the Bonneville Dam which shows the return is right on the 10 year average, but the Springers came in about a week later than normal. It seems that there is no state sponsored theft, but rather a little shift in ocean conditions that have pushed fish outside beyond the reach of the sport fleet.
