Or anyone’s salmon, really. This rule – a proviso within The Salmon Act of 1986 – actually makes a lot of sense when you realise that it is a broadly defined law aimed at combatting poaching of the magnificent game fish. It is worded in that way so as to allow law enforcement to tackle not only the poachers, but the middlemen and the end users or retail outlets through which the salmon travels. Any deception along this business path can be subject to this law, allowing the officers to investigate without needing to acquire extra warrants or permissions.
