Tensions continue to simmer between Moscow and Washington in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
In many respects, the divide between East and West is deepening: Oil companies are canceling partnerships with Russian firms. State legislators are calling for the state’s sovereign wealth fund to dump Russian investments. President Joe Biden announced Tuesday the U.S. would close its airspace to Russian aircraft.
But the United States and Russia are continuing to work together on at least one issue: salmon.
There’s a map scattered with orange, green, blue and red dots spanning most of the North Pacific above 46 degrees latitude.
On the map are three flags of Arctic nations: the U.S., Canada and the Russian Federation.
“This interaction between the countries in this is really something that has never happened to this scale before,” said Mark Saunders, the executive director of the five-country North Pacific Anadromous Fish Commission.

..."Big abnormal variations in salmon production noted over recent years still to be explained, Melnikov said. For example, in 2016, only 440 million salmon fingerlings were recorded in the Sea of Okhotsk, which was the lowest level ever recorded. But the next year, 2.3 billion salmon fingerlings were registered in the same sea, the biggest number on record.
Current stocks of Pacific salmon are more than double than they were in the 1960s and 1970s both in Asian and American waters. Scientists think that the increase has been caused by climate change – that an increase in temperature in the Northeastern Asia has made conditions there more favorable for salmon."...

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel Do you think those old Russian ships are still in the Russian navy inventory? I know we had liberty ships In Philadelphia and elsewhere until 20 years ago so I wonder if Those Russian Intelligent ships disguised as fishing vessels ink vessels are still in existence?
