How to reproduce:

Spawn some salmon.
Compare the sizes of their shadows.

Observed result: Salmon of different sizes all have shadows of the same size.

Expected result: A salmon's shadow size should adjust to match the size of the salmon. `

I am able to reproduce the reported behavior. It has been present since the introduction of differently-sized salmon in 24w33a.

Other cases of shadows not scaling were fixed in the past: slime/magma cube/phantom Size NBT, all mobs' scale attribute, and mixture of them were fixed. Why is this single case Won't Fix, while the other cases all got attention and fixed when needed?
