Does salmon taste different after metamorphosis? I imagine the lack of salt alters the flavor some.
anyone here play splatoon?
Salmon run has really nice art of salmon at various stages of their evolutions. all super stylized and fake of course, but it's still cool seeing the splatoon version of kype or whatever
I love that the lore with these guys is similar to their real life counterpart, they're a society of suicidals that relish in fulfilling their ecological job (in the games context, being eaten)
What would happen if you could force feed the salmon and keep it in the ocean? They would live a lot konger or they still turn ugly and die?
no, it's the fresh water that kills them and makes them bloat. my guess is that they would live a lot longer. possibly decades.
What would happen if it was put in water that was half as salty as seawater?
Some of them survive IIRC, some never migrate and breed multiple years staying in the river phenotype and even trout species that breed multiple times often have high mortality during the breeding season from intersex rivalry, exhaustion building nest and predation during nest building.
Atlantic salmon can spawn multiple times, its still brutal on them
I don't think their are any populations that breed in seawater but salmon do get landlocked.
A rainbow trout is just a stealhead salmon that doesn't migrate, they are smaller less piscivorous and feed on bugs
Where can I read more about this? I don't even know what to type in the Google search bar for this phenomenon kek
Pink salmon metamorphosis.
How do these frickers mutate like that?
see this comment:
and this link:
the salt water they are used to requires active filtration, which they have a specific gland for. so when they go into the fresh water they basically stop drinking water actively, but due to osmosis their bodies become super bloated.
I'd assume from the description of the changes this creature probably wouldn't survive unless you used chemicals to stunt it. If let in saltwater it'd die from dehydration. The hyper urination can't be healthy, so it's doubtful it could survive long even if force fed. Who even knows if it's digestive system still functions.
ive read this happens because of the bodys cell-structure dramatically changing with the salinity of water itself
salt water fish swell in fresh water
and fresh water fish just simply plum fricking drown in salt water
apparently salt fricks some things up for marine creatures
>Reddit man shit
Frick off
>Dude we have to spend our lives in agony, almost killing ourselves just so our offspring can do the exact same thing because???
The existence of animals is pointless
same as our own
they exist to be food to other animals, including us
it's not pointless at all, extremely important even
Humans are the dumbest animals of all, because we constantly try and give meaning to things that have none. Our brains, can't fathom the idea that things can just be, because the idea that we are the same terrified us so much that we invented religion to cope by telling us we are special, we have meaning, there is a great plan.
Where'd you find that daring and sophisticated opinion, kind stranger?
It came to me while plowing your mother
Talking to actual flat earthers and seeing first hand how desperate and pathetic their stance is.
is that natty? how many daily hours of gym?
salmon run from splatoon makes so much more sense now
That's what salmon evolves into at level 26
I wonder what animal on earth is capable of the strongest orgasm.
the white mulberry tree
ostracods
Dolphins can apparently ejaculate with the projectile force of a shotgun blast.
Not sure if that's bullshit or not.
Also not an animal but there is a tree that fires it's seeds out with enough force to send them flying thousands of feet.
so how does this work exactly? does the female salmon eat the cum water and get pregnant from it somehow?
nevermind I just looked it up:
https://www.marinebio.net/marinescience/05nekton/sarepro.htm
So basically the female salmon just swims next to her chosen mate, then they both release their cum / eggs at the same time
and the eggs get fertilized somehow? not really clear on that part
its basically like normal sperm and egg, except its not happening inside the animal, a lot of animals in the ocean do this, a lot of invertebrates just release their sperm and eggs into the water hoping the two correct species will collide with each other
the main conclusion I'm getting from this thread is that if we didn't have hands to jerk off with we'd gladly kill ourselves for some pussy
>me in my twenties vs. me in my thirties
damn look at the way these fish coom, looking like they're having the best seconds of their lives
It looks like the new MCU trailer just dropped!
They probably are
>literal baby males sneak in to nut in her eggs when the male's too busy to notice
wtf these motherfrickers are coomers from birth
imagine how satisfying it must be to coom after months of literally killing yourself for the chance
>AMBATUKAAAAAMM AAAAAAAA
have a nice day zoomer homosexual
so do they rape the female salmon?
or do the female salmon also turn into sex monsters?
No they just sexually assault the rivers by jizzing all in them. The sperm finds it's way to the females' eggs.
salmon vs salmonster
they also actively die and start decaying while swimming upriver
>what happens to Pink Salmon when they get horny
>they swell to twice their normal size and look insane
horrible
Smash
virgin vs chad
Twink death
they also stop eating entirely during their spawning phase
I will never understand why some animals in nature just decide to literally die when they have kids. what do those animals think about when they are going through that phase of life? Do they know what's coming?
> what do those animals think about when they are going through that phase of life?
Boy oh boy I really need to have sex
> Do they know what's coming?
Maybe, but they don't care. Most animals are incapable of reflecting on the implications or consequences of facts, even if they know them.
do you think their hunger just completely goes away? or is the horniness just so extreme they can't think about being hungry?
imagine literally becoming a braindead coomer that can only think about cumming and sex and cum. that's what the pink salmon does lol
Mayflies are the same way but even more extreme. When they come out of their cocoons they don't even have a digestive system afaik, they just take little gulps of air to help them fly. Their entire adult stage is dedicated solely to mating.
my understanding is that flies are not conscious, at least not the way we are
fish definitely have some level of consciousness
insects like mayflies or house flies are actually really well understood, their brain biology has been completely mapped at the molecular level
they are basically like little computers that run basic responses to stimuli
food smelled -> go towards food
danger detected -> fly around
repeat

I wonder if there are any fly hacks
>fish definitely have some level of consciousness
lol no they don't. They really aren't that much higher than fricking bugs dude.

They are super basic life forms. Hardly "conscious" in the way the one homosexual was impligining.
Read motherfricker.
It simply states that fish do not feel pain. Nothing more, nothing less.
a lot of butterflies and moths are the same.
If you see one just laying on the wall like that, it's just waiting to die
>If you see one just laying on the wall like that, it's just waiting to die
It's most likely just waiting for the night or it's warming its wings.
Animals that are about to die are difficult to spot.
nah. A lot of times if you touch them they'll just fly a few cm away then stop again. And many times you can find butterflies on the wall and when you touch them they fall down dead.
sure often they're just sleeping and will fly away the next day but it's very common for them to just lay there and slowly pass away
>A lot of times if you touch them they'll just fly a few cm away then stop again
That's usually a sign of low body warmth. If you pick them up they'll start to quiver to quickly build up heat and take off again.
no they're dead, you can find hundreds of dead moths just laying on walls. In the wild it's harder because they get eaten, but if you're in an apartment bulding it's littered with moths and butterflies corpses
once I was hiking and while having a dinner I noticed some kind of small fly crawling in converging spiral on my camping mat. I said to my friend: " Look, what is this fly up to?" And it made another few circles and stopped moving and died.
I wonder would humans risk dying if it was the only way to coom again
I think if we were a species that died from cooming and transformed like salmon, the environmental pressures wouldn’t have also selected for the sort of intelligent communal species that can reflect on this. We have a whole lot of religious rules about how to coom and where but we don’t put people to death for breeding, because then how’s the tribe gonna feed those helpless infant humans?
The concept is ridiculous, nature would never select for such a clashing combination of species traits.
David Carradine did
I think it's similar to cellular suicide. Once they've fulfilled their reproductive purpose they just get killed off as a form of quality control.
>Do they know what's coming?
Even if they do, I don't think it bothers them much. They have to follow through with it or they'll go extinct.
its because they literally degenerate their stomachs to make room for more sex organs
Women HATE him! Learn how this fishe avoids alimony, divorce, child support, AND becoming a cuckold with ONE WEIRD TRICK!
With salmon it is a reproduction strategy.
They pick nutrient poor mountain streams as nurseries so their offspring will have less predators but being rocky streams there is no food. The dying adults act as nutrient pumps bringing biomass up the mountains from the ocean and the par then drift down stream as they get bigger
Ultimately, it just boils down to whether the one that dies after mating has a better chance to pass on its genes than one that doesn't. If doing a suicide run upstream, even if it kills you, means that you've got to have more offspring than Dave the slow and steady salmon, then over time your species will get more and more filled with suicide fish.
evolution doesn't care about what happens after an animal reproduces, it literally doesn't matter if they stay alive or not because their presence isn't necessary for their children to grow up and reproduce
>what do those animals think about when they are going through that phase of life? Do they know what's coming?
thinking is a human trait, great apes and cephalopods at most, fish are basically automatons with no active consciousness
It vacates the exact niche their offspring have to survive in and provides a lot of food animals will readily eat instead of their young. It's a pretty good system but unfortunately it also opens you up to extinctions.
Its a pretty versatile system and explains why salmanoids despite being primitive boney fish are wide spread and colonized most of the northern hemisphere despite ice ages. They can colonize nutrient poor systems, their corpses provide food for the insects their offspring eat and use these hostile environments as nurseries and then move to the sea after reaching a larger enough size to be a predator in that food web.
You don't understand because you're a pussy. You're a little twink human who doesn't turn into a monster and grow a giant snout with sharp fangs when you want to frick. Why do you even want to understand this? You can't.
>YWNBA monster and grow a giant snout with sharp fangs when you want to frick.
I have it on good authority that many humans also wish they were dead once they have kids.
Humans do this too to a lesser degree. It's called aging. So long as it doesnt interfere in your prime breeding years any gene or mutation that kills you will be passed down to the next generation
