I guess this shouldn't come as a huge surprise, but it is shocking still -

Its mostly Blackmouth that have had health warnings for years. With all that's going on these days, Blackmouth may be about the only salmon fishing there is around Seattle. So whats a few drugs between friends!

Quote from WDFW
Resident Chinook (blackmouth)
have higher levels of contaminants. Limit
consumption to 2 servings per month.
Most blackmouth remain in Puget Sound
rather than migrate to the ocean, so they
accumulate more contaminants.

Yes - it stands to reason that resident fish would have higher levels, but the fish tested that were covered in the article were juveniles.
