Salmon was opened for classification in November 2024. There is nothing complicated about this case. Salmon is a fish. The Bureau knows salmon is a fish. The public knows salmon is a fish. Salmon knows salmon is a fish, to the extent that salmon knows things.

The classification is pending because all classifications must go through the process. The process takes time. The delay reflects the process, not any ambiguity about salmon.

The panel has had one session on salmon. The session lasted 22 minutes. 18 of those minutes were spent on paperwork. The remaining 4 minutes were deliberation, which consisted primarily of confirming that everyone already agreed.
