It is unique from the Pacific salmon species — besides belonging to a wholly different genus, Salmo — in that some individuals can spawn several times during their lifetime and not die right after the first (and only) one! As migration and spawning is extremely draining, most tend to only spawn once or twice, though.
Bit of a photo dump of Margaret, who got installed along with 24 other gorgeous Sturgeons in downtown Augusta, Maine last Saturday. I know a lot of folks that follow me here are anything but local, but they will be up for 2 years so if you ever happen by, many feesh await.

so this blog is going to be a mode for me to present my assignment for a college class. I'm gonna talk about seven sources that I looked at for research into the discourse ( or topic, group, community etc.) of famous instances of cannibalism. Might keep it to stay in touch with said discourse, might delete later :p
Movement Project- Screen-Printing an Atlantic Salmon
(18/1/24)
Being one of my favourite fish native to Ireland, I had to print an Atlantic Salmon.
I created a simplified, design of when the salmon is in its teenaged stage, just like myself currently. Learning from my previous mistakes of cutting the stencil lines too thin, I adapted and thickened the lines.
I tried layering different colours for the first time, first a neon orange followed by navy blue line-art.
Two layered version + just line-art version
I’m loving screen-printing and hope to try out printing on fabric for my next go.
A good portion of salmon species are semelparous! This means they only reproduce once before death. This is because the journey to their home river is frequently very taxing physically. Some salmon however, like the Atlantic salmon, can in fact be iteroparous! This means the salmon can have multiple reproduction episodes, though it's still not too common.
