Are these frankenfish?

I like this video and it is fun 🤩

[@indyreno2933]

Indy Reno 10 days ago It also comes to a surprise that the genera Salmo and Oncorhynchus are different and not closely related, they only look similar due to convergent evolution, Salmo is part of the tribe Salmonini, which also contains the genera Salvelinus and Salvethymus, whilst Oncorhynchus belongs to a whole different tribe, which is the tribe Oncorhynchini, which also contains the genera Brachymystax, Parahucho, and Hucho, meaning that the closest living relatives of the pacific salmon and trout (genus Oncorhynchus) are the taimens and lenoks.

[@NN-fk3cs]

don't they both branch from the salmoninae family though?

[@indyreno2933]

Salmoninae is a subfamily of the family Salmonidae, the genera Salmo and Oncorhynchus fall under different tribes within the subfamily Salmoninae, which is why the genera evolved independently and display examples of convergent evolution.

[@NN-fk3cs]

@@indyreno2933 I'd love to learn more about the salmoninae subfamily, any recommendations?

[@truthrevealer8869]

Nice explanation.

[@AGDinCA]

I was unaware that salmon could potentially spawn more than once. I wonder if that's only specific species??

[@DeepMarineScenes]

It is very species specific. A small percentage of Atlantic salmon can survive to spawn again. However, Pacific salmon will only spawn once.

[@AGDinCA]

@@DeepMarineScenes Good to know! Thanks for sharing!

[@spaceshuttlescientist761]

Me too

[@R.Oates7902]

I'm having it for dinner tonight 🐟

[@ShaneBoy]

Its the best tasting fish

[@pipermackenzie3327]

this is awesome

[@joncomas]

Thank you.

[@keatonblackman472]

Can They Be In Nova Scotia

[@DeepMarineScenes]

Yes! Many Atlantic salmon do inhabit the rivers of Nova Scotia.

@@DeepMarineScenes Thanks

[@pamelabennett8815]

These salmon are the only ones who dont die after haveing eggs some people dont have a clue

[@robertwallace4393]

Wrong. Majority of atlantic salmon die after spawning

[@t-rexstudioproductions781]

Unlike other salmons who die after spawning Atlantic salmons often survives spawning

[@-RizonGaming-]

wtf? i am enjoying wild sockeye salmon right now ... in Canada =)

[@thomasmartinez6275]

I felt asleep just by her voice lmao

[@Struciive]

How much are they left in the world?

[@notSwiftie]

Why are you asking us to count... they migrate and its difficult to calculate BTW you can research this yourself

[@Struciive]

@@notSwiftie im looking for a estimate....

500000 just some more 😅

Take a good look at them beautiful things before they are extinct ...

There is no shortage of Atlantic Salmon. The reason it is a protected "endangered species" and you can't buy it WILD CAUGHT is that it is the most nutritious ocean fish you can eat. Any farmed fish is extremely unhealthy because of what they are fed. Atlantic Salmon are not any more "vulnerable" than any other ocean fish. They are not "in decline". That is b s.

[@potats1770]

Clearly you don't live anywhere near any Atlantic salmon river because they are in huge decline

[@caritas8984]

They can not be counted in any meaningful way - that is simply not possible. And if you look at the numbers presented by the gov bodies like NOAA etc they vary wildly from year to year. They are officially an "endangered species" - it is illegal to catch and sell them commercially so they are not being depleted by consumption. This is all about control of the food supply, and building that great environmental empire of bureaucrats who have gov jobs with retirements. If you look at the hierchy in NOAA alone there is a "specialist" official for every "endangered" species. Then you have the "international" bodies and peripheral NGOs. It really is a gold digging self-perpetuating empire that can declare anything it wants "endangered" or otherwise.

[@nomaschalupas2453]

Also the salmon farming is an example of EVERY resource we use. Either create the resource or deplete it. Imagine if we went full vegan, will that help. No, all the lands would be destroyed still from farming and possible chance of making every inch of good soil dead. Stop protesting against human survival, you are protesting yourself. Use that energy to find solutions instead of only shouting for progress with no answers and waiting for someone else to figure things out.
