What a beautiful place! Appreciate all the info in your Video Description box. I usually eat Vegetables, but I do eat fish sometimes, and Salmon is a fine tasting fish.
sad but true, more so in some places than others. We still have pretty clean fish here in alaska! but down in the states there are signs everywhere warning you not to eat the fish, PCB's, dioxins, etc. my family likes to have a weekly fish fry - so all the six-toed cousins gather for a feast, complete with hush puppies.
I would love to have heard more about how the males find the eggs to fertilize them, or if the females pick males to fertilize their eggs, or if males fight each other for the right to fertilize or something, or something like that. Do the males guard territories to 'welcome females' or do they just hope to get lucky that females lay their eggs in their territories, or what? I don't really know how to ask what I'm thinking. I hope you do.
howdy, this is indeed a serious Q. I am not an ichthyologist or whatever, but it does appear to me from extended observation that something attracts the males to the females. Either smell or perhaps sight of the female digging the bed. Or maybe they actually see a bunch of eggs squirt out and they rush over to do their thing. They just seem to be guarding the area immediately around where they happen to be at the moment. Sort of like musical chairs at a swinger party. They move around.
I think smell guides Salmon back to their birth place to procreate (if that is the right word for fish 'doing their business'), but I do not remember how the males find the eggs to, only that fertilization takes place after the eggs have been laid. You say you see the males go over to the eggs laid in their territories. If I understand what you're saying, neither the females nor males pick one another, rather it is that the females lay eggs where they can and males fertilize eggs near them.
"neither the females nor males pick one another, rather it is that the females lay eggs where they can and males fertilize eggs near them"... kind of - it looks like the males move around quite a bit more than the females. like maybe the females stay with a spot longer - the males move more, here and there and everywhere up and down the creek. this moving around causes the fights, between those on the move and those who are not, at that moment. it seems the males pick one fem.then another.
Whow...more info on Salmon than I can chew! Maybe I can impress someone I go to a seafood restaurant with. By the way, take it or leave it, but I would suggest a circular polarizer on the front of your camera lense. Then you can dial out the water reflection. Just a suggestion.
ruth i am glad you checked it out. I thought you might like this better than that loud noisy obnoxious heavy metal movie from the other day, for sure.
Excellent and interesting comments as well addressed some of my questions. cool musical bg.

thank you for the suggestion. I am obviously in need of expert advice!
If you go buy some salmon or get it at a restaurant, please be sure it is wild alaska salmon. Friends don't let friends eat Farmed Fish!
windham666 3 years ago
Will do, Pastor!
