For a little underwater ASMR, and an up-close-and-personal look at a Chinook salmon nearing the end of its journey, watch the short video in today’s Flashback Friday!
Just in time for Halloween, here is a close encounter with a Chinook salmon that is approaching “zombie” fish status. By the time salmon return to freshwater to spawn, they have not eaten and their bodies have begun shutting down as they concentrate all of their energy on spawning before they die. While it’s an important part of the salmon life cycle, it’s not always a pretty sight!
