Headline: “Millions of salmon mysteriously just disappear” off West Coast — Expert: “Literally within 2 days it disappeared

We all know that the radiation has reached the west coast.
Can't enter your link even if I add the extra 'L' in the end, but are you sure the research are up to date?

Well, I am not specificly linking the two in this thread---merely pointing out how widespread and devastating to all Pac lifeforms whatever is causing it--as Pac rim governments adamantly refuse to investigate--which is in itself---mysterious

I would point out this fact that is being missed.

Many gov scientists are reporting huge outbreaks of domoic acid--red tides.

The same domoic acid outbreaks that are so devastatingly deadly across all ocean biota, causing severe neurologic trauma, evidenced in several differnt mammalian species of ocean life

Is also deadly to humans.

So if it is so rampantly found up and down the Pac Coast--why have they not mandated closure of fishing until this abates??????


HMMMMMMMMMMM


can't have it both ways guys.

Late sockeye numbers ‘disturbingly low,’ monitoring group says

Pre-run estimate of 1.24 million dropped to 200,000 for entire Fraser River run

November 3, 2015

From the link:

"The late South Thompson sockeye run has seen far fewer fish than expected, but the federal fisheries department says it’s still very preliminary with the final numbers not known until late December or January.

“In terms of the sockeye return, it’s much more disappointing than people were hoping to see this year,” said Greg Taylor, senior fisheries adviser for the Watershed Watch Salmon Society, a Vancouver-based non-profit organization that monitors wild salmon.

“They arrive in the spawning grounds in October, and the numbers they’re seeing are disturbingly low.”

Taylor noted that the Pacific Salmon Commission’s (PSC) pre-run estimate of 1.24 million late-run salmon was dropped to 200,000 for the entire Fraser River run, which includes the South Thompson, the Little Shuswap, Shuswap Lake and Adams River.

“It’s a very dramatic reduction.”

The update said, for example, that a total of 2,193 sockeye were counted at the Weaver Creek Channel on Oct. 28 and that no live or dead sockeye were observed Oct. 27 on the Bridge River in the mid-Fraser.

DFO spokeswoman Lara Sloan said that the department’s area director for the B.C. interior cannot be interviewed about the situation until the new federal government fisheries minister is sworn in and gives the go-ahead.

But she also said the preliminary numbers don’t tell the whole story. “Every year we release final escapement numbers, usually in December or January.”


“What’s disturbing is it’s a harbinger of the future, those kinds of summers.”

He said that the early summer component of Shuswap sockeye also returned in relatively poor numbers.

Taylor noted that this is the second year in a row that both the early summer and late summer components of Shuswap sockeye returned at levels well below pre-season expectations.

“They join many other Thompson salmon stocks, including coho, chinook, and steelhead, that have struggled in recent years.”

Millions of B.C. salmon mysteriously ‘just disappear’ in troubling year

VANCOUVER — The Globe and Mail

Although spawning salmon are still returning to British Columbia’s rivers – including some, surprisingly, to urban streams – early returns indicate another troubling year, despite some bright spots.

“It really is a mixed bag this year,” said Brian Riddell, president and CEO of the Pacific Salmon Foundation. “How the heck can we sum it up? I’d say it’s the good, the bad and the mysterious.”

There were good sockeye salmon returns to the Great Central Lake system on Vancouver Island and to the Nass River on the North Coast, he said.

But contrasting that were very poor returns on the Fraser River, where only about two million sockeye returned, far short of the more than six million predicted in preseason forecasts. Even more dramatic was the collapse of the pink salmon on the Fraser, with only about five million fish showing up when more than 14 million had been forecast.

The federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans declined to provide a spokesperson to talk about the salmon runs, saying it is too early to have firm numbers.

But Dr. Riddell said it is possible at this point to paint a broad picture, and the indication is that some stocks are in serious trouble.

One mystery, he said, is what happened to all those pink salmon that were supposed to return to the Fraser River.

Dr. Riddell said test fisheries in the Georgia Strait in the summer showed a strong run of pink salmon coming in, but then, in what should have been the middle of the run, the fish just stopped arriving.

“If we are not going to go the way of Washington, Oregon and California [where salmon stocks have been decimated], then we need to adopt precautionary management. We need to implement the Cohen Commission recommendations and we need more funding for DFO,” he said. “If we don’t do those things, we are risking our salmon.”

In 2012, then-B.C. Supreme Court justice Bruce Cohen completed a $35-million inquiry into the collapse of sockeye stocks in the Fraser River. His report’s recommendations were never implemented by the federal government.

TEPCO assure us that it has nothing to do with them.

What causes these "red tides"?

Not sure what is going on and interesting it isn't being reported on, but one thing for sure, there are going to be a bunch of hungry starving bear this winter.

Red tides are caused by algae...or communists
