Unexpected Discovery in a Wild Salmon
Someone stumbled upon an unexpected surprise when they began filleting a wild salmon. As they carefully prepared the fish, they discovered a tracking chip embedded within its flesh, likely placed there by researchers studying the salmon’s migration patterns. Fortunately, the decision to fillet the fish instead of cooking it whole prevented the unintentional tracking of the individual. These tracking devices resemble the ones commonly used for pets to ensure they stay safe and don’t wander off, but in this case, they serve a scientific purpose.
