Thank you! I’m a big salmonid guy, it only seemed right for fish number one to be a salmon.

They have disappearing buttholes! Instead of a sphincter like humans have to ‘close’ our butthole, sea gooseberries close their anus by fusing tissue overtop of it after excretion.

Sorry for second day having no art! It’s been a busy day, hopefully tomorrow I’ll have some time.

yeah!! this is Sockeye Salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) found in the Northern Pacific Ocean and rivers that feed into it !! And is this a spawning male, shown by the humped back & hooked jaw (kype) !! they are semelparous 😛meaning they die after spawning 🤫
