Salmoniformes, a diverse and fascinating group of fish, encompassing various species that inhabit both freshwater and marine environments. From the majestic Brown Trout (Salmo trutta) to the elusive Sea Trout (Salmo trutta), these side views showcase their sleek bodies and distinctive markings. The vibrant Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) displays an array of colors as it glides through the water, while the Atlantic Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) captivates with its regal presence. The Cutthroat Trout (Oncorhynchus clarki) exhibits its characteristic red slash beneath its jaw, adding a touch of intrigue to its appearance. In this underwater view, we witness the maturing Coho Salmon (Oncorhynchus Kisutch) holding in a pool in Hartney Creek near Cordova, Alaska during autumn. These magnificent creatures prepare for their arduous journey upstream to spawn, showcasing nature's incredible cycle. Power Creek near Cordova also reveals another spectacle - male Sockeye Salmon (Oncorhynchus Nerka). Their vibrant colors shine under the summer sun as they navigate through the crystal-clear waters. Not far away is their female counterpart, equally captivating with her grace and strength. A mesmerizing sight unfolds as schooled mature Sockeye/Red Salmon arrive on spawning grounds. In this underwater capture from South Central Alaska's Power Creek, we witness males displaying dominance by gaping menacingly in the background. It serves as a reminder of nature's intricate social dynamics during this critical period. However, even within this enchanting world lies an unseen threat - Gyrodactylus; an aquatic parasite that can affect these remarkable fish populations. This microscopic organism reminds us of how delicate ecosystems can be and highlights our responsibility to protect them. As we delve into these underwater views once again, we are reminded of the awe-inspiring beauty and resilience of the salmoniformes.
