(ALL INTERNAL & EXTERNAL USES – NO COMMERCIAL USE) Sockeye salmon, still grey in color having just transitioned from sea to freshwater, wait to enter Kurilskoye Lake at a research fish counting gate in the southern tip of the Russian peninsula. The salmon are threatened because poachers are paid large sums in the depressed Russian economy for their caviar.
