QuoteDr. 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.


"With test fisheries, people will typically use a bell curve [to project the size of the run]," he said. "We had roughly 40 per cent of the run in and it was on track with the curve, and then literally within two days it disappeared. It just crashed. ... I have never ever seen, nor can I explain, a test fishery like that. The fish are coming in and you are following the proper pattern as they have for years and years, and then they suddenly just disappear. And we have not accounted for them."

Wonder what is going on, sometimes I imagine them all being hauled off world.

QuoteThe results of testing conducted on Alaskan fish in 2014 results showed no detection of radionuclides from Fukushima. However, scientists predict that the peak concentrations of radionuclides in water will reach the North Pacific in 2015, which has prompted more questions about continued sampling of fish in Alaskan waters. DEC, through the Division of Environmental Health Fish Monitoring and Food Safety and Sanitation Programs, will again coordinate with the FDA in 2015 to test fish collected across Alaska from various commercial fisheries.

337 Whales Beached in Largest Stranding Ever
The cause of the massive die-off, discovered in remote waters off Patagonia, Chile, is being investigated. Scientists say they are most likely sei whales, which are endangered.

 :) You never know, I don't like hearing the words mysteriously disappeared from authorities.

New military weapons or communications could be responsible for the whales maybe....mysteries.

I don't like birds falling from the sky because they run into bridge cables either though.
