Wow the algorithm gods have truly blessed me! Thank you so much for all the amazing comments. I really appreciate the support and I’m so glad people enjoy my videos! I’m currently working on my next one so please subscribe to stay tuned 😃🙏🏽
They did not evolve. God, in His infinite wisdom designed them that way.
good stuff! It's a distinct style from other channels like Moth Light Media, subbed!

Just found ya from this definitely a sub & time to enjoy your library 😁
@@jamesweir2943 if he designed them that way why weren’t they already like that why did they involve do that😂
Approximately a 10 year life span for a fish, sees a huge chunk of the world and able to return home at the end of life is actually pretty epic.
Creator is God. Praise the Lord.
It is one of the most epic events found in nature. The salmon run.

An epic narrative written into the evolution of a species
It's insane that a species is so determined to carry on a strong lineage that they absolutely physically destroy themselves in the process. First the battering from traveling upstream, then the cortisol bombardment AND physical strain from mating, then no real sustenance in the pools they breed in for them. They literally kill themselves to produce the biggest and best young. What absolute machines.
Remember, 'determined' is only a metaphor; evolution is an blind process without direction of goals.
I hope you do realize they don't actively choose to do so, they have no choice because this behavior is etched into their genes. It's not like there are some outliers that are like: nah dude, fuck suicide just to produce offspring, I keep living in the ocean. They can't take a different path nor comprehend the consequences of their actions.

Someone should make an animated movie about a salmon life cycle. Such a courageous journey and tragical end, nonetheless a beautiful one.
Futurama did it
@@johndemuth6735 why doesn't this surprise me
Dr Zoidburge would approve
And there are humans that want to remove their genitalia, yet these creatures die just to assure they achieve their life’s goal, inspiring.

I've excavated several giant salmon, an ancestral species of modern pacific salmon which lived about 11 to 5 million years ago. They were huge, nine feet long, weighing up to four or five hundred pounds. The ones I've excavated had perished in a braided stream of the ancestral Deschutes River, in central Oregon, so by then, they were already migrating quite far. It is believed they had already evolved suicidal reproduction by then.
So they used to be like the tunas we have now.
@@richardbutkis
Do tuna migrate into fresh water?
@war
Ah. Yes. Tuna are pretty large in size.
LOL!! "Millions and Billions of YAYERS AGOOOO" actually means "We have no idea." {0.o}
What a bunch of EvoBangBang tards and their foolish napkin idea religion!! 😂 🤣 💀
@@porcorosso4330 just meant how big they were. Tuna get to be 500 lbs currently.
Extremely high quality production. I love how there's background noise for all corresponding footage and when you switch to graphics there's a calm atmospheric track, it feels like you're inside and sheltered. Not long until you reach a high subscriber count with this quality.
I don't think any of it is his.
@@LetTheWritersWrite The footage and audio (sound effects and music) are obviously sourced from somewhere, but the editing is definitely done by him, as well as the narration, he's skilled and he packs this educational content in a very pleasant-to-watch video that's up to professional standard.
Beautiful production makes me wanna cry for the salmons life - they help so much to feed a lot of animals
Could not agree more.
Growing up on the west coast of canada, it was always neat walking to school during spawning season and see over the weeks all the salmon swim up and then the carcasses all over the bank just to be eaten up in a week or two. Sadly over fishing is easily seen though, as every year there are less and less salmon dying on the creek beds
That’s an odd twist, fewer dead salmon being the concerning thing
@@thecanadiandane7262 does a bear poop in the woods? it's natures way of returning minerals, like calcium and trace metals that mushrooms and tree need to thrive. !!! amazing cycle, eh??
@@thecanadiandane7262 that means fewer salmon are returning to lay eggs and die.
It's the chinese
=_=
Literally sailing to another part of the world to poach fish
@@rightclick4294 it's many other things, too, but yes. The chinese fleet is large and controls basicly don't exist.
The power of a salmon swimming up a waterfall and past predators is inspirational. Their perseverance and tenacity boggles the mind.
It reminds me of a large ham that would walk up a hill everyday to the local McDonalds. Even when she needed a walker she still had the bravery to push herself and the walker to the McDonald’s . They don’t make them like that anymore .
Cortisol (stress levels) so high they are driven to do what they do. More like insanity than tenacity, but your point well made about the inspirational obstacles they persevere over.
Not like they have any say in the matter
@@Tonyscasaaverage (insert war tornncountry) child on their way to school to get scattered all over the lands 😂😂😂
The soviets introduced the pacific breed into the Barents sea, so in Northern Norway there is a large scale invasion currently, which threatens to outcompete the Atlantic variety which is native.
Well now you can catch and eat your salmon ( invasive Pacific salmon ) and save your salmon ( native Atlantic salmon ) at the same time. Win - Win Just catch and release the native salmon and harvest the Pacific salmon, especially commercially ( before they enter the rivers to spawn ) .
And the Atlantic Salmon doesn't actually have the suicidal reproduction like the Salmon species of the pacific Northwest. I was kind of surprised to not see that mentioned.
@@Biophile23 He mentioned it.
@@Biophile23 It was mentioned.
And half the salmon farms on the Pacific Northwest are Scandinavian companies who hatch Atlantic Salmon on the Pacific seems like everyone is doing it which just doesn't seem right.
I recently watched a video of a dying salmon and was kinda confused, because here (on the Atlantic) salmon normally dont do this. This video explained every initial question I had in a consciece and entertaining manner. Alot of videos, that claim to answer a question dont and it annoys me quite alot. This was a nice surprise
It blows my mind how someone could make a video of this quality just by himself. Fantastic video.
true, the Atlantic salmon can do the trip multiple times, usually 1-2 but it can be a few more.
@@aloneandannoyed steelhead can also spawn multiple times. Fishing is closed for a month to let the "Kelts " go back to the ocean
@@JohnJames. cool, I didn't know that- that's nice of them
@@JohnJames. thanks for sharing! I didn’t know that as well.
My grandfather used to take us crawfishing up a river on the coast near northern Oregon. They were so vast in numbers because the salmon would go up to spawn and die. We almost always came back with 2 five gallon buckets full of crawfish after about 8 hours. He used big chunks of bacon for the bait.
makes sense as to why the crawfish are big there they are well fed
Tge remaining 5% that don't die, upon seeing the others: "pathetic"
This showed up in my recommended and I’m shocked! I thought it was a nat geo documentary I’m subbing! You definitely earned it
I saw A Shorts Right Now. And Zombie Salmons Are Interesting
Some of my friends had suddenly become eager to return to their spawning site at a certain age, and then after that, they soon got rapidly aged.
Amazing content! The effort put into this deserves to be recognised
It's using fair use content. Some of it from Nat Geo
It's crazy to think about how this whole process creates so much food for the environment.
Imagine spending evolution point just to die after mating
@@ccriztoff was it that serious for ya?
@@ccriztoff wow you must be fun to have in parties 🙄
evolution is indeed a coop game, so if your team wins is enough
The point of the game of life is to reproduce anyways, what they're doing is totally viable.
This channel deserves no less than a million subscribers. Bravo gentlemen.
Holy heck, the production value on your videos is so high! You can really see the passion being put into it
Thank you. I learned so much from this. Hope this gets more attention. You deserve it.
Another great video bro.. you're putting alot of effort in your videos. Good job 👌
Thanks for noticing and for the constant support man! 🙂
U will reach a million subs one day. Trust.
Liked subbed and told my mom about your channel, no joke I thought this was a discovery channel made documentary, this was phenomenal ty !
This combination of excellent visuals, relaxing music and your voice is very relaxing and i find myself watching these when i am unwinding after a long days work. Keep it up
Fascinating stuff, and as so many have already stated, the presentation is truly first-rate.
Looking forward to future videos. Keep it up.
I truly appreciate the effort put into this video! You deserve more subs
Amazing video, and I can note that some landlocked salmon can survive the spawn on rare occasions, I have witnessed Coho from Lake Superior making the journey back into the lake after spawn as they start to feed again regaining energy
@Bensmite Herro im confused by your comment, whats your point?
@@AaaaaaaHelp it’s a joke
@@kaylinkelly6980 not a very funny one lmao
@@iancampion6979 I agree
Coho are a Pacific salmon. They aren't indigenous to the Great Lakes.
Oh wow! So I just found this Video and watched a few more from the endcards without leaving fullscreen. I was pretty sure this was some channel like BBC Earth or National Geographic and then I scolled down to see that you only have 3580 subscribers. I have to say: I'm impressed by the pure quality of your videos. Keeo up the great work, I just subscribed and I'm sure many thousends of people will too eventually!
Fascinating, beautifully filmed!
Quality is highly appreciated!
Excellent video (as always😁).Thank you🌻
Thanks for making the vid~ That was great!
Cheers! More videos to come 🙂
This randomly popped in my feed and I do not regret clicking. Excellent video and great quality! Keep up the fantastic job. 👍
This is the second video I've watched here and this is my new favorite channel
Glad you enjoy my videos! 🙂
Great content dude, keep up and watch your channel grow
This video quality is insane. You got my sub.
The best narrator in documentary ive ever watched. Your voice are warm and gentle , amazing job.
Very informative and interesting! Fantastic video.
So cool! I would love to see a video from your about one species evolving into two species, I think there was a salamander species on the coats of California that did this. It’s fascinating.
this is the highest quality video ive seen off youtube in so long. my god. educational, poignant, and wonderful visuals
If you showed me a section of this video, I'd think it was a professional nature documentary. Excellent narration, storytelling, and educational content. Keep it up, these mini-docs are amazing and I genuinely can't find anything else like this on UA-cam!
Thought I was watching a clip from a BBC nature documentary, only realised when I scrolled down you only had a few thousand subscribers.
Really good job man, you’ve really nailed the documentary style
I haven't made a comment on UA-cam in probably close to a decade, but I had to let you know that I think your channel is getting ready to take off! Your production style reminds me alot of PBS that I grew up on and I think it is fantastic.
how, you dont want to bash on shitty comment on let them know that they're stoopid?
Make more comments.
This is a brilliant video. My friend and I were just having a conversation about why salmons make the super strenuous migration just to self destruct after mating. Fascinating!
Hands down most underrated channel on this platform- this popped up in my recommended and I can’t stop watching your videos, keep it up and the algorithm will soon catch up!
I’m shocked this channel isn’t bigger than it is. Well done
Informative and no nonsense. Great work.
Absolutely excellent video and awesome narrating voice, you sir have just earned a subscriber.
Wow, you deserve a much larger following. This was excellently made. ❤️
Great video! Felt like I was watching a documentary!
Simply blown away by the treat you just gave us
Amazing video and incredible quality. Was surprised you don't have hundreds of thousands of subscribers!
Instantly subscribed and liked. Thank you for the great content!
Keep up the great work man. Your channel will blow up. These are amazing.
Wow - fantastic video. I have been to Alaska twice for fishing trips and never knew that landlocked salmon also perished after spawning. I always thought it was the salt water to fresh water change that triggered the decay. Kind regards, Troy Duncan.
Wow only 3K Subs. Keep making stuff of this quality and you'll be at 100k+ in a few months! Very nice.
What a wonderful and touching video. Please keep up this good work. I regret i only found your channel now👍
I can't believe you have 2.2k Subs! This is amazing quality. One day you'll get a viral video and grow exponentially. Much love, peace, and wealth.
Fish: hey you wanna mate?
Another fish: NO I DONT WANT TO DIE!
This is an excellent video! High quality, I'd legit expect this to be on something like BBC. Thank you algorithm for finally giving this dude the attention they deserve.
This channel deserve's a million subscribers. Very interesting content ,very informative and Amazing Storyline and the Graphics. ❤️
Being near the Okanagan in Canada, I was able to witness the salmon run this year. Its truly incredible.
The sub count is a joke, this channel deserves more. Great content.
Amazing video! I absolutely have to watch more of ur content, since UA-cam just now suggested u to me
Hey dude your editing and sound design is awesome. Very high quality content!
The video quality is amazing 👏🏿
Great video and content dude! This channel is so underrated.
This is amazing. Incredible presentation. I like your calm tone. Subbed.
New subscriber. I'm hooked. Great channel!
Love the video, its so much more insightful, well thought out, and much better animated, than your subscriber count would have suggested. It is insultingly low
A lot of fish out there can and do tolerate both freshwater and saltwater.
Two that may surprise you, Lake Trout and Largemouths Bass.
Lake Trout living in lakes that drain into the Arctic Ocean have been discovered to migrate to the open ocean.
Largemouth Bass can tolerate about 2% salinity, which the open ocean is about 3.5% salinity.
I’ve caught Largemouth Bass is water that you can taste the salt in. It’s wild.
Biologist here, just wanted to say: amazing work dude, well done!
I am grateful that this video ended in my recommended videos. This is a gem of a Channel.
This doc was beautiful!! Thank you !
I visited Okanagan Lake when I was little, never realized there was a salmon population there. It’s a beautiful part of the world there. Also, for anyone wondering it’s pronounced “Oak-n-Awg-n”
I’ve heard that great beacons are lit on the pacific’s eastern coast to guide the salmon home; huge brush fires are started by humans.
Human families who hunt the salmon also pass down their spots though their family lineage, so the two clans, human and salmon, are tied.
Some people fish with reef nets that have holes in them, so that some salmon will pass through and continue the lineage.
Doesnt sound very human but i hope its true😂
What the hell are you talking about
Um what?
just no
Sounds like cap but also sounds cool so I’ll let it slide
woah, this video has insane production value! hope to see this grow into something great :)
I have never been this relaxed🙂 in a while, the editing is just too good.
Hope you get Millions of subs soon.
You really showcase how fascinating and different nature can be in a really engaging manner. I am aa huge nature lover so it is easy for me to be enthralled by this type of content, but you do it incredibly well, and I hope that this reaches more people that can be inspired to love and appreciate nature more, and our connection to mother earth, and all of her beautiful creatures that can sometimes be seen only as food on a dinner plate. Salmon are such beautiful creatures, and I had no idea that they live that long!
Very good content and interesting and informative
Love this video! Keep up the great work! You'll be at 100k subs no time
Wow. What a great video. Thank you so much, it was a treat to watch.
A great video as a fisherman always wondered why they did this
it is absolutely astounding how they can always find their way home, no matter how far or difficult it may be.
Not always. Very often they do, but sometimes these “mistakes” lead to salmon habitat expansion
I’m really impressed, I’m in at 20k subscriber. Great work!
This was a beautiful and enlightening documentary, thank you so much for sharing!!
Ive had so many dreams of fishing in waters like this
Holy crap. New favorite channel.
This video was great keep up the gd work!
Speaking of which, I tried salmon for the first time last month. I really liked it.
Okay hypothetical question, if you took a salmon back to it's home after it spawned and like/fed it would it be able to survive?? Or would it just die anyway? edit: jk I finished the video i guess noooo they cannot
its, not it's
I think there are some salmons who survive a few mating rounds so it could be possible
ratio.
They die because they exhaust all of their resources going against the currents. So big salmons that have lots of spare fat and protein can go a few matings so it is probably yes
Did you miss the bit where landlocked salmon who don’t have to migrate still die?
yeah dude like wtf is this i love these kinda vids and even that i get it recommended i shared your yt on my socials u deserve it
This channel will be super big one day glad I found it 👍
love this video, great job whoever behind this.
Really refreshing to see another high quality channel make an appearance. The video is really well thought out and made. The only "complaint" I have, is that the text in the 2d graphic sections was a bit hard to read. Maybe bring it above the diagonal line textures?
Dude I’m commenting because your video definitely deserves the views. This video takes me back to the Futurama episode where the whole crew are salmon xD
Seriously though, here’s hoping for more exposure and I look forward to more videos. You’ve earned my sub.
You know I’ve always wondered about the small number of salmon that survive spawning. What happens to them? Do you the share the same fate as those who wasted away in the streams? Do they cannibalize their own young if they stick around? Or do they simply swim back towards the ocean and live out their days there forever changed from the swim back home.
Usually the gays take over to exploit the situation.
Sounds like a Disney/Pixar movie waiting to be made...
If they survive they come back the next year. There are studies that have shown some spawned 3-4 times before they disappeared.
Atlantic Salmon are like that. Most do die, but quite a few survive.
They just swim back to the ocean.
Imagine being the salmon that survived and watch all their friends die and then having to do the whole thing over again next year
I find it really interesting, Octopus seemed to have convergent evolution adaptations that are similar to the Pacific salmon. Where they are completely different species, yet they both separately evolved to pass away once they reproduce...
Pretty cool, although octopodes forgo feeding in order to stay stationary, protecting their eggs as long as possible, rather than using their energy to reach an optimal spawning ground. Protection is likely more important for octopus eggs since they're attached to a surface, all in one spot, and in the open ocean, rather than in a stream with thousands of other eggs spread nearby.
Same with Zoidberg’s species from Furturama
Neither of them are as drastically semelparous as some mouse opossums and killifish are.
I think also many insects also use this strategy.
It’s a very common strategy. In organisms without parental care or social structure, staying alive after mating doesn’t really have an advantage.
I really enjoy your work, keep it up!
Great video! High Quality!

You can thank a random video showing a zombie salmon for bring me here.

I’ve seen this migration in north Norway and there’s just too much of this invasive salmon so they started handing them out for free but there’s was just too much so in the end they had to throw away so much
