[...] The agency did not answer repeated questions about where the samples were taken from in B.C., saying only that they were came from various processing stations. [...] Stó:lō Tribal Council fisheries advisor Ernie Crey said he is puzzled at the agency’s reticence about where the fish were taken from. “It’s this kind of response from government officials that give rise to suspicion among Canadians,” Crey told Indian Country Today Media Network. “There is simply no good reason to withhold this information from the public.” Testers could have picked the fish up from a processing plant, caught them on a recreational fishing charter or bought them from a commercial boat, Crey said. [...] [ link to enenews.com] Because they know that eventually the irradiated fish and water will or already has gotten to canada and the US. As Mike Rivero said, many in Alaska's fishery and crabing fleets are fearing the day that some kid puts on youtube a video of him holding up a fish and putting a geiger counter to it and showing it's radioactive. Potential financial losses prohibit the authorities from invoking veracity.
