It seemed to get more color the longer it was in the sun.

Looks like a female humpy to me.

Somebody from fish and game called Tim yesterday and told him this isn't the first one of these caught this summer. Maybe it's a new breed. Where did you see female humpies of this color?
Guess I never did. The bottom picture makes it appear to have that shape. Maybe this thing is related to the Atlantic salmon that have escaped from the commercial pens in B.C.

Yes. Unfortunately BC fish farms are a smoking gun in those yellow salmon. We are getting them in BC in the Fraser river. Please read Alexandra Morton's blog below.

Can someone give me the name and contact for the Fish and Game person who received this fish? In reviewing the salmon farm disease record there is reference to this mystery syndrome. There is reference to it looking similar to a virus seen in coho in Chilean fish farms.

Thank you I hope we can figure this out
Can someone give me the contact for the person at Fish and Game who received this fish? At the Cohen Inquiry into the collapse of the Fraser sockeye we learned the salmon farmers are trying to figure out a syndrome that is turning farmed Chinook yellow. There are farm salmon disease reports on symptoms similar to a virus in Chilean coho fish farms, that turns the fish yellow....

I feel this is an urgent situation as yellow pink salmon and Chinook are showing up dead without spawning.
I can be contacted at gorbuscha@gmail.com
