(HARDtalk's Stephen Sackur reports from Alaska)

(3) Wild salmon Is a Billion Dollar Business in Alaska. BBC, July 30, 2013 (video)

(HARDtalk's Stephen Sackur visited a processing plant to see the fish being prepared)

My comment: The video clip is very similar to the salmon-processing part of the clip in (2). The major difference is at 0:39 minute, where a guillotine cut off the head of a salmon. Prior to that the clip in (3) shows workers in a processing plant placed gutted fish into a red bucket.
