that sockeye dumping picture reminds me of the old paintings I saw as kid of western plains filled with rotting Buffalo carcasses shot for their skins by europeans.

Love to know where the pi was taken.

Post by: keithr on September 14, 2005, 09:46:59 AM: I wonder if any attempt was made to hide these fish; otherwise whoever did this didn't mind sticking 'em right in our faces. The implications are revealing and sad. Perhaps they were used in a ceremony of some kind adapted to the 21st century.

Post by: Rodney on September 14, 2005, 03:31:41 PM: After some corresponding back and forth, the DFO lab in Chilliwack has sent a staff down there to collect DNA samples. Initial thoughts are those fish are not Cultus Lake fish, due to their size and colour. This is the second sockeye dumps being reported recently. I'll post an update when results are available.

Post by: Fishbreath on September 14, 2005, 03:45:56 PM: With a drift net you won't get the same net marks a a set net. The fish don't stay in the water long enough to leave deep marks. Marks or no marks, there is no conclusion who dumped the fish. Regardless, it is a reckless treatment of a species who's survival depend on strong numbers reaching their natal streams.
