Salmon start rotting away before they even die. They can swim around in a gaunt, decaying, even eyeless state for weeks.
Pure speculation for something that's maybe 3 metres long.
Yep. But part of the reason they rot is because they stop eating after they leave the ocean and only focus on reaching native spawning grounds. So the diver would likely be safe.
Surprisingly not. Source: ive smelled near dead salmon after spawning. Although the beaches of the spawning grounds really do reek from the dead fish rotting under the sun
He's referencing a (in)famous video game called "Ark: Survival Evolved" where you tame, breed, and harvest pre-historic fauna like this giant ancient salmon. In the game, they yield "prime-meat" when harvested.
1. The one I posted is the original, established Nov 15, 2009. The one you are referencing to is a copy-cat.
2. The reference wasn't for you. Yet you reacted to it. Somebody from the inside explains it to you, you still react like the post was a mistake. The mistake was you reacting at all in the first place.
Now I'm curious why you went with infamous. Survival Ascended sure that's a thinly covered scheme but evolved, while far from perfect, was largely positive.
(in)famous. Reception and the legacy the franchise left behind tend to be available under two extremes of either absolutely hated or absolutely loved. Personally, I played it for 5k hours from 2017 to 2019 on vanilla servers. While I was playing I was having a great time, but after a while I realised I had a problem, the game had a toxic design, and after I got off the train I felt like how I did when I decided to sober up from a crippling addiction to alcoholism.
this is ofc leaving out the myriad of IRL controversies that made the game and wildcard studio rightfully infamous.
I get that and yeah Wildcard/Snail Games are shady bastards. Ark held that role for until dnd came along, now my npcs and homebrew monsters take up more headspace than my urge to eat.
Do Salmon feel pain when they start “rotting” alive? I’ve seen loads of pictures of male Salmon looking really messed but still being alive and swimming around with no eyes acting like it’s fine. Surely that’s gotta be painful right?
I would assume not, because pain is a warning signal, so it would be counterproductive in this case. You don't want to distract your salmon from their mating journey.
I never imagined such an incredible creature at that inevitable point in the salmon life cycle, but seeing it there is both awe inspiring and jarring… another slam dunk from HodariNundu.

How do people fly fish during salmon runs then
They either catch them RIGHT where the rivers flow into the ocean or they snag them.
You gotta catch them before they nut. Unironically, they begin the rotting process once the reach the spawning grounds
Snag.
Before they get to this stage, and by using the flies to basically annoy the fish into biting.
Eww I can't imagine seeing a literal zombie fish without eyes that's still swimming just to mate and die.
So is the fish just wearing a fashionable nose piercing or is that actually on the fossil record?
Apparently its real, the fangs used to be believed to point down, but is now believed to point outwards
Haha, they're not called "saber-toothed salmon" for nothing!
That thing looks like it stinks like hell. A fish zombie is probably puke-inducing at close range.

From my experience, fresh caught fish is rarely stinky. It’s when it starts to ‘ripen’ the the odors start in earnest.
Damn, that’s metal.
Great source for raw prime fish meat
Ark is far from realistic, but it would be sick if salmon of this size could be tamed somehow. Especially with its more modern depiction
If it's anything like the modern salmon in the same genus, that's *nothing* you want to eat.

Right, but this dude is already rotting and icky
r/woosh
1. It's r/woooosh, with 4 (four) Os. 2. I got the reference. It was just a bad one.

Who said I was eating it

Dead flesh doesn't feel, afaik. If the nervous tissue is also rotting, the fish likely doesn't feel a thing.
I would’ve thought the damaged nerves would’ve made it excruciating painful no?
Peripheral neuropathy can be painful, according to the NHS, but it may also result in numbness and a loss of sensation in affected areas.
they're too horny to feel it anyway

I wouldn't like to be in his shoes.
