I wanted to bring to your attention this excellent documentary on spring Chinook salmon. They're one of the most endangered of the Pacific salmonids, and they face a variety of threats, from dams to climate change. They also have unique behaviors and traits that set them apart from other salmon, and recent genetic research shows that they're different even down to the level of their DNA.

It's only an hour long, and very well done; if you aren't able to just sit and focus on something for that long, it's good either watched in bite-sized chunks, or having on in the background while you do chores, art, etc. And while it does highlight some distressing realities, it leaves on a hopeful note, IMO.

Day 2 of @fish-daily 's Fishuary - Salmonid- a couple days late lol. But I started it on the second I swear!

Based off the free Chinook salmon pattern by Downeast Thunder Farm, modified with an extra belly panel to round it out a bit and allow me to add all the paired fins.

Bonus: crotchety old man front view

SALMONIDS of ALASKA The bane of my existence for the entirety of 2020 and part of 2021: the salmon poster. You've seen the separate illustrations, but now, finally, here is the full thing.

This entire project was a journey. I had never illustrated fish before, let alone in this much detail. I have retained an appropriate hatred of scales and fin rays from this project. But also a persistent joy from having created these illustrations, and appreciation for what beautiful animals these salmon are. Putting together the poster, making all elements fit together and - not unimportantly - making the poster fit its allotted space on the wall was an additional endeavour.

It is currently displayed aboard the David B, the vessel of Northwest Navigation who commissioned this piece. If you're interested in having a copy of your own, you can contact them. For now I hope you enjoy reading this (if you open the image in a separate tab, I made it big enough to read) - and mayhaps learn something new about the intriguing world of salmon! I certainly did.

Today's Fishuary prompt was Salmonid, so I made a colorful Chinook Salmon since I live very close to a Salmon Hatchery where they are raised! Thanks to @fish-daily for the prompts ☆

Daily fish fact #652

Chinook salmon!

Also known as a king salmon. It is the biggest of the Pacific salmon, able to reach such a staggering size as 150 cm long and 57 kg heavy (58 inches, 126 lbs)! Individuals will typically grow to be around 60 to 90 cm long (24 to 36 inches), however.

Day 24 of Fishuary!

Prompt: Fish Dinner

—

Decided to go a different direction with this one! Alaskan salmon, particularly chinook (oncorhynchus tshawytscha), are very commonly consumed fish worldwide. They have many names!

They’ve been introduced to the Great Lakes after proving effective in controlling the invasive population of alewife in Huron and Michigan. These guys can get over a hundred pounds. A HUNDRED POUNDS.
