The Plainfin Midshipman

Описание к видео The Plainfin Midshipman

Also referred to as our local "toad fish," the plainfin midshipman (Porichthys notatus) are visiting the slough for breeding and juvenile growth. Adults usually live in depths of around 400m most of the year, but venture into shallow intertidal locations during spring and early summer for breeding. Males can produce a "hum" to attract females to their nesting site. These fish are to blame from past stories of "generator-like" noise complaints in Sausalito, CA.

The Plainfin Midshipman have hundreds of photophores along their body which are used to produce light for attracting prey as well as camouflage
