For salmon lovers in California, October is “the peak of the return” when hundreds of thousands of Chinook salmon leave the open ocean and swim back to their ancestral streams to spawn and die. All along the Pacific coast, starting in the early summer and stretching as late as December, salmon wait offshore for the right timing to complete their journey inland.
In Alaska, the season starts in late June, when salmon head to streams in lush coastal forests. Although this annual migration is welcomed by fishermen who catch the salmon offshore, scientists are finding a much broader and holistic function of the spawning salmon: feeding the forest.
Millions of salmon make this migratory journey -- called running -- every year, and their silvery bodies all but obscure the rivers they pass through. This throng of salmon flesh coming into Alaska’s forests is a mass movement of nutrients from the salt waters of the ocean to the forest floor. Decomposing salmon on the sides of streams not only fertilize the soil beneath them, they also provide the base of a complex food web that depends upon them.
--- Why Do Salmon Swim Upstream?
Salmon run up freshwater streams and rivers to mate. A female salmon will dig a depression in the gravel with her tails and then deposit her eggs in the hole. Male salmon swim alongside the female and release a cloud of sperm at the same. The eggs are fertilized in the running water as the female buries them under a layer of gravel.
When the eggs hatch, they spend the first part of their lives hunting and growing in their home stream before heading out to sea to spend their adulthood.
--- Why Do Salmon Die After Mating?
Salmon typically mate once and then die, though some may return to the sea and come back to mate the subsequent year. Salmon put all of their energy into mating instead of maintaining the salmon’s body for the future. This is a type of mating strategy where adults die after a single mating episode is called semelparity.

I feel so privileged to have smelled this dead fish while exploring Alaska with my Deep Look friends. Amazing video! This is such a great story 🐟→🏞→💀→🌲
Thanks Joe!!
There is another example of this salmon / bear / forest story.
Bears roam the forest, they scratch the trees which leak out tree resins. Early foresters killed the bears because they thought less bears = less harmed/leaking trees = more bigger trees.
That indeed was the case in the next wood harvest years later. Except that later once they cut down a patch of trees they noticed that less young trees grew back and the new trees grew slower.
In the tree resin grows a fungus which produces a sap with anti-bacterial and insecticidal properties which bees used to lick together with the resin to build there bee hives. They can build hives without the tree resins but its less strong and there hives have more little openings (in which insects can hide) which they usually glued shut with the resins. And they can build hives without the fungus sap but are then more susceptible for bacterial and mite/insect attacks.
Less bees meant the trees made less seeds, less seeds in the ground meant that after cutting trees, less younger trees grew back.
Less bears meant less bees and less bear poop meant slower growing young trees.
Oops.
OMG someone finally said these words !!

This ecosystem will end in a few years due to global warming.
1:40 - "which the males fertilize..." *aggressive violin* "...thoroughly".
Eugggghhh...
Me:😮😯😦😶
Wth
That camera now covered in salmon nut juice.
This is why I don't participate in NNN
You've found a perfect spot, that isn't too over dramatic, and cheesy, or too dry, and boring. Plus, the 4k is just gorgeous.
why would it be dry ;)
i thought this was gonna be about some fish living in trees
same
Click bait disaster 😑
Same
LOL AHAHAHHAHAHAHAH
i was like "no no nooo my nightmare came truee"
1:42 the salmon literally had the last bust of his life.
Omg XD
Nerd I’m pretty sure it was the female that lays eggs...HUH
Look at his face 😂
@@jayson246 it was the male fertilising it i think
@@jayson246 Only pretty sure??????
Fertilize thoroughly.

Narrator: "One way or another, the salmon carcasses make their..."
Salmon: "I'm not dead."
Narrator: "Well, you will be soon, you're very ill."
Jason Patterson lol, I did notice the gasping mouth :P
But I'm getting better
I'm feeling better. I think I'll go for a swim. I feel happy!
Bring out your dead!
Salmon: I'm not dead yet!
Bear: Dude, I am literally eating you alive.
Salmon: Code word being "alive"!
This channel is so incredible. You can see the perfectly structured nature cycle from one organism to the next in a lot of the videos, and there's always great background music to set the tone and draw the viewer's attention in. A wonderfully designed and informative channel
Thanks, you!
Oof this boi dwarfs over how many likes you
"An artery that brings in nutrients from the sea"
It's very interesting how these salmon give up their nutrients as soon as their lives are about to end...
its not like its their choice
Think of all the precious nutrients we keep flushing down the toilet.
Yep, most of that nitrogen gets denitrified at the treatment facility, back into nitrogen gas.
Yummy, nutricious water.
JS∞ imagine how much nitrogen gas is produced when treating prison sewage water!

1:42 When No Nut November Is Finally Over.
🤣
animals don't lie People do it for the meme, not actually the health benefits lol.
@@RetroCube while ignoring the down sides, the permanent effects it can have. Seems smart
And I corrected the autofill typos since there's always that one guy
animals don't lie Woah, it’s almost like we’re on the internet or something. Big brain moment.
You guys are so underrated I don't get it.

1:42 is how how most of us react when we release stress also. I cant get over how his mouth is wide open like that. He's really enjoying his self.
I love watching these videos with my 6 year old son. He is always in amazement of what he is seeing.
Thanks!
cute
My favorite science channel! The narrator's diction is always so crisp and calming.
Good to hear!
I wonder how disgusting it was to film maggots on the rotting fish
probably very xc
Not so much, it smells at first when approaching but you'll get used to it. Just keep filming and once you're busy you'll hardly notice it. And sometimes its easy to find what you need to film this way. But sometimes we stumbled upon a dead fish without even smelling it loaded with maggots. Most of the flesh was then already eaten out so not much left to smell. (Not that I filmed this, but I filmed other dead/rotting fish/animals when I was younger.)
Probably about as disgusting as it was to watch
Zeiross I'd imagine not so much - if things are interesting the 'gross' factor pales away.
A while back I started to take notice of the slugs in my garden at night - something I never really considered before (poor relation to the garden snail I thought), but once some things become apparent they have become quite interesting.
Different species, behaving in different ways, with different food sources.
They are still a bit unappealing, but I do have a new found respect for what is a major recycler.
Maggots are pretty gross, but in that environment, thinking about the cycle that they belong to, I think I'd be able to filter out the repulsive factor.
Let's be honest, plenty of people are pretty gross too.
Go look in your outside trash can. Be lucky to have spoiling food and you'll find maggots in there as well.
2:54 welp I ain’t eating rice for a while
Your scaring me 💀
I was just about to have rice for dinner actually
*ASIAN.*
Get out of my head
Fried lice very nice

"but I'm not dead yet!"
The quality of these videos are amazing.
We appreciate the kind words.
“ Title ”:There’s something fishy about these trees
“ Thumbnail ”:” fishes ”
Me: wah....
Wow incredible. The Futurama episode only took it to the fish dying. You really gave me that deeper look 👏
Natalie Cleveland so this was the reference of that episode 🤔
i was ok until 2:50
where's the flamethrower?
I had my volume on low and I actually thought the aggressive violin was the male salmon gargling
Am hard of hearing and I thought it was the salmon gargling too. I'm glad it's clarified now 😅
wow just amazing!
Killersnake 898 hey dude it's me birby from your discord chat!
All is one, one is all.
Yo, can someone tell me the song that started playing in the background around like 4:00? Cheers!
Ok how?!
Though how did you film this without spooking the fish? Was there any "Spy" Salmon among them like BBC Earth used nowadays?
Nanna Leifa I think they filmed the close ups in aquariums then added the bubbles for effects
LagiNaLangAko23 maaaaaaybe they weren’t that close and just zoomed their cam. Not sure tho
Or maybe they have the idea when will this event happen since mating is usually seasonal. Or its just the fishes dont care, they dont even care about the eagles
The salmon when breeding ignore everything else. like the bears and the eagles and the fishers and the humans. Just drop a couple of go pro's in the water near their spawning grounds and you got lots of this kind of images on film.
those are robots you saw. lol
This is just one video I've watched from your channel and I already subscribed. I love how the ecosystem works and how things are connected. This video showed a really good example and it was explained really well.
Thanks Rey!
People say... That if you pay close attention... You can hear them say...
_just keep swimming, just keep swimming..._
Chances of me eating rice again: 0%
im never drinking from a stream again xD
3:07 im just gonna back away...
4:24 And check out this other video about why beavers are masturb...master builders! Master...builders.
This cracked me up🤣
Just woke up and see this! Nice!
Mr. Piebro me to
Mr. Piebro same
GOLLY, IT SURE IS BORING AROUND HERE
Was about to sleep and see this! Nice!
Mr. Piebro same bro
It’s a well known fact bears mostly eat half a salmon and then bury the remains to cultivate extremely rich soil, where trees then grow, not tiny random flies. Most trees in woodland America are there thanks to a bear.
This was beautiful ❤️ I didn't know other flying bug pollinated plants too. Until I saw these videos. Thank you for them so much.
More happy ending and successful breeding than Heaven's Gate.
It's just amazing how it's balanced
Sitting in my favorite class, Biology, during first period and watching Deep Look! This is amazing.
Awesome!
this is not just video, you can learn how the cycle life begins, love your video coz ive learnd a lot
As usual best video ever had seen!!!
Yo, can someone tell me the song that started playing in the background around like 4:00? Cheers!
these documentaries are perfect length and the narrator is just right for this job
One of the most under rated channels on youtube. You guys deserve a lot more recognition..!! Just keep making these awesome videos guys!!
Thanks, Mohit!
Wow. This is one amazing video. I never knew that the flora and fauna has these amazing benefits from salmon. All I knew is that they will lay their eggs and or be eaten by a bear. This video is very informative. Deep Look videos are worth watching for. I tend to spend my time watching Deep Look videos. Looking forward to a more videos.
2:43 I thought that was rice....😂😂😂
Oh noooo
it looks too much like rice imagine someone collecting those fly egs and servin it as "rice"
@@yeetushmm6073new fear unlocked 🔐
I dont know but i just love the way how the bear just squeeze the salmons belly only for the eggs
4:03 Silphid sighting!
Wow good eye, there.
and it brought friends with it (mites)
I love this episode. It's not the usual format, but it tells a beautiful, ecological, North American tale.
Highly underrated channel I don't understand why it is
1:42 when that male fertilize lol
Female salmon:*lays eggs*
Male salmon:OH YEA
Wow a grizzly and black bear mix
3:06 it's beautiful!!!!
1:39
Male salmon: "okay honey, I got this"
**screams of power and determination**
Male salmon: "Okay I'm done"
The videos you make are not just educational, but interesting, as it allows us ordinary poeple to learn more facts about how our ecosystems can work and benefit in many ways. Keep up the videos!!
It's hilarious seeing the salmon open their mouth as in shock as their either fertilizing or laying the eggs.
last time a watch a nature whilst eating rice
I can't have enough of this channel.
And then we collect their golden eggs, right?
Lol
Ha
Splatoon 2 joke
Nice
This comment is a year old, but... Y e s , a m a n o f c u l t u r e .
And power eggs! Don't forget those.
when you get that thorough fertilization
Am I the only person that think the fly eggs look like rice?
Don't you dare to ruin how i visualize my rice
1:42 that violin playing while laying egg got me👍😂
fascinating
Hippie Skater Miriel from Fire Emblem: Awakening
I am at awe with the work of nature, so efficient, so delicate and elegant. It appears to be cruel at first, but once understood, it's just amazing. It must be done by the hand of the creator.
Again, good job Deep Look. Such amazing and informative video. I learn a lot from your videos even though I'm still young.
Thank you!
Salmon be like "we've gotta go back"
Respect to the salmon mains who keep on trucking despite getting griefed by so many predators. May your respawn timers always be short.
That's how ecosystems work dependent variables.
2:08
Deep look: one way or another, the salmon carcasses way their way up onto the river banks
Salmon: Wait, I’m not dead yet!
1:40 That’s what our moms faces going through childbirth looks like
I find it amazing how, even though it doesn’t seem like it, the everything is connected and helps each other out.
Animal life is like a whole giant story chain. It's fascinating.
That male at 1:47 enjoyed every bit of that
It baffles me that this all just works out lol
Like it all seems to random a chaotic but it's so cool that there's a train of life that comes from this process
1:41
n u t t
1:40 Male salmon be like: *YEAHHHH GIVE IT TO MEE BABYY!!!!!*
And suddenly you dont want to eat rice anymore but you cant do that
I remember seeing a futurama episode of this once
The ecosystem is so complex and meaningful then a human can comprehend.
Those eggs look like rice better watch out
That bear’s squeezing out the eggs and eating them. That’s awesome
Bears: eat one single bite of the salmon
Me: pays +30$ for a salmon steak
The violin note matched the rhythm of the fertilizing process of the salmon
Everyone gansta till their rice starts moving
So the bear and eagles r eating freshest sashimi.. Hmmm..
I really expected fish to be inside tree trunks or something like that, but it's just the cycle of life. I'm only 40% amused.
3:06 me: *AAAAHHHHHHHHH*
I really love how these animals interacting to each other
"There's something very fishy about these trees..." last words of an American soldier in the Vietnam war
1:50 freaking Quagmire trying to catch a peek😂
I never thought Id see a fishes o-face in my life
Salmon: It's not much but it's honest work
Nature is so beautiful and facinating. Everything comes full circle.

Great video!
nature is so amazing and just perfectly decorated!
How complex do you want to make your ecosystems?
Nature: Yes.
Crazy how everything are connected ! Nature is incredible and complex.
what do the salmon die of? animals are full of this, they're like "time to die guys, cya"
I wish I was salmon so I don't have to worry about never getting laid...
That doesn't make any sense.
Fishes don't reproduce in that way.
N.A 銀牙 yes, that's why
Uhm just very little salmon actually get laid. 100.000 more spawn from eggs (just 10% hatches). 10% of that survives first weeks, 10% of that reaches the ocean, 10% of that survives first year in sea, 10% of that matures to start migration back, 10% of that makes it to the spawning grounds where they are going to be eaten by bears/eagles even before they spawn. Only in those couple of days just before they die they get laid. You want to wait until just before you die?
jo han dang, I just want to be a microbe now
N.A 銀牙 it's a habit, fuhrër...
