Besides providing me with my daily dose of Robin Stickley ;D on Global's Early News, I looked forward to veiwing Bryan's discovery.
It's a shame that this situation had occurred, and good on you Bryan for bringing this public.

I'm no sturgeon expert, but a clip early on in the broadcast shows one of the carcasses with what appears to be a long pointed slender nose.
Maybe just a poor viewing angle, but is this not a sturgeon type more commonly found in the Fraser Canyon type waters.

Just an observation...

I realize this is hard to police but there should be a better way.

I wonder if you couldn't do something where for any non-salt water nets, any cork attached to a net has to have a personal identification number on it.  Any net caught anywhere near fresh water without said number results in a hefty fine.  Sharpie markers are cheap and should be good enough and it wouldn't take that much time to write the numbers on the corks.

Granted, some of the poaching nets don't have corks but it might lessen it some.

Embed Microchips in the Gill nets somewhere so at least they can identify when and where it was sold.

Bryan, do you think the nets were set to catch salmon (the sturgeon were by-catch) and when the poachers removed the salmon, they just left the sturgeon and the net on the shore?

This likely wouldn't work.  There is very little of the gill net that cannot be replaced and is done frequently.  The lead line, cork line, corks, even netting can all be switched out in a couple days.  You would almost have to have it in the monofiliment netting which first would be easily spotted and second very easy to remove.
