@DrFishSG @ericrsails @ReelAngle @SolomonRDavid @UWiscSeaGrant @donaldorth @greatlakescisco @WildlifeBioGal @LakeSuperior But like helping Scrooge learning the error of his ways, this Ghost of #Fishmas Past tells us all is not lost: many researchers + agencies across the #GreatLakes are working to protect + restore native Ciscoes - check out #CiscoInferno + tagged tweeps for more! #25DaysofFishmas
@SolomonRDavid @DrFishSG @ReelAngle @ericrsails @donaldorth @UWiscSeaGrant @WildlifeBioGal While native to east Asia, goldfish have been widely-introduced across the world because of their popularity as aquarium + pond fish. They’ve been found in every contiguous US state + all the #GreatLakes #25DaysofFishmas
For the 2nd day of #Fishmas, #Humboldt version, I offer these young-of-year black rockfish rearing a tide pool. #25DaysofFishmas
@SolomonRDavid @ReelAngle @DrFishSG @UWiscSeaGrant @ericrsails @donaldorth @WildlifeBioGal Adult silver lampreys use their suction-like mouths to attach to a host fish + feed on flesh/body fluids (yum). They live 12-20 months as parasites before migrating up streams to spawn, and then die after spawning (like salmon!) #25DaysofFishmas
@SolomonRDavid @ReelAngle @DrFishSG @UWiscSeaGrant @ericrsails @donaldorth @WildlifeBioGal Silver lampreys are members of a group of jawless, ancient fish called Petromyzontiformes - their name “Ichthyomyzon” literally means “fish-sucker” (Greek, ichthys = fish + myzo = to suckle) #GreatLakes #25DaysofFishmas
On the 15th day of #Fishmas I give you the Pacific Spiny Lumpsucker! These amazing little pingpong balls have boney "spikes" all over their bodies to protect them from predators! #25DaysofFishmas #cutestfish #FishFacts @DrKatfish @RivershedBC
