    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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

      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.
