I like to do projects that challenge me, and hopefully in turn challenge the audience, or open your eyes to something you’re not aware of.

     Happy Birthday, Mia Wasikowska!

"Blueback" Movie Review

"A thoughtful Aussie environmental story" Check our #Blueback Movie Review starring @Radha_Mitchell @EricBana67 #MiaWasikowska @roadshowfilms #supportaussiefilms

Blueback is a family drama directed by Robert Connolly set in a coastal wilderness community in Western Australia. When marine biologist Abby (Mia Wasikowska) gets a call to return home to see her mother Dora (Liz Alexander) who has been left mute after a stroke. While taking care of her, she recalls her formative experiences as a teen, with her younger selves played by Ariel Donoghue and then…

Fish fact #655

Sockeye salmon!

They feed mainly on zooplankton via the help of their long, filter-like gill rakers! Other names for them include red or blueback salmon — red salmon references their red spawning colours, and blueback refers to their blueish silvery colour while in the ocean.

Settle In with the Sockeye Salmon

The sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka), also known as the red salmon, or the blueback salmon, is one of thirteen species of salmon endemic to the north Pacific Ocean. In their juvenile years they live in the open sea, but as fresh hatchlings and adults they can be found in freshwater rivers and streams. However, the subspecies known as the kokanee salmon are trapped in landlocked lakes and do not migrate as other sockeye salmon do. When migrating, the species can venture well inland to western North America and portions of eastern Asia, including Japan, Russia, and parts of Siberia.

Like most salmon, the sockeye is most famous for its lifecycle. It is an anadromous species, meaning that individuals migrate based on their life state. Newly hatched fry emerge from nests laid in the beds of freshwater systems, and spend their first 1-3 years before moving downstream to the ocean. There, they spend another 4-5 years in schools of up to several hundred, before they reach sexual maturity.

Beginning in July, mature adults begin the great migration back to the area in which they spawned. Once they reach their breeding grounds, males form into strict heirarchical groups and begin to court the available females. Meanwhile, each female digs a shallow nest in the riverbed and lays her eggs. Her chosen male partner-- or several-- lays a cloud of sperm over the eggs. A male may fertilize several nests before he dies; the female perishes soon after. The eggs, laid in clutches of up to 200, take approximately 40 days to hatch, at which point the cycle begins again.

As juveniles living in the ocean, red salmon are somewhat unremarkable. They have long, torpedo-shaped bodies that are generally silvery blue in color, sometimes with dark speckling. Individuals retain this coloring until well into their journy as adults, where males and females begin to significantly diverge. At their peak, adults may be anywhere from 60 to 84 cm (2 ft 0 in – 2 ft 9 in) in length and weigh from 2.3 to 7 kg (5–15 lb), with males being somewhat larger than females. Both males and females also change color; the head turns green, while the body turns bright red, although the color change is more striking in males. Finally, the shape of the male changes drastically, with the mouth becoming more hooked and the body growing a large hump.

Unlike other salmon, both adults and juvenile O. nerka feed throughout their lives. Fry and ocean-bound juveniles feed mainly on copepods and other zooplankton, while migrating adults also consume larger insects and invertebrates. Young blueback salmon are vulnerable to predation from larger fish such as lake trout, squawfish, and mountain whitefish, as well as larger invertebrates and frogs. Individuals living in the ocean are less predated upon, although they can still be caught by larger animals such as seals, sea lions, and sharks. Terminal-stage adults are large, easy targets and are consumed by a range of species; most namely bears and large birds such as gulls and eagles.

Conservation status: The IUCN considers the sockeye salmon to be of Least Concern. However, the species is listed on the United States Endangered Species Act. Populations have declined significantly throughout its range, largly due to overfishing, habitat degredation and the destruction of their breeding grounds.

I really love doing things that are different and challenge me in different ways. And I think to remain interested and excited by acting it’s really great to have such diverse opportunities, and I feel really lucky that I’ve been able to do that so far

Happy Birthday, Mia Wasikowska!

This is a Sockeye Salmon. They have many names, such as the "Blueback Salmon", "Red Salmon", "Redfish", and "Summer Salmon"! They also travel from the sea to rivers have babies.

LittleClan Spoilers DO NOT PUBLISH

Pythonback begins to be bullied by the apprentices over his name. They tell him nothing is special about his back so his suffix is stupid; he renames himself Pythonpatch to escape their torment.

Bluepaw and Lilacpaw become warriors and name themselves Blueback and Lilacback respectively. Pythonpatch is confused and tells the two their backs aren't special either, and the two berate Pythonpatch about how their backs are incredibly special and deserve to be their namesake. Pythonpatch cries himself to sleep.

Lilacback finds a fox cub and adopts it as her child, naming it Pythonback. Pythonback bites Pythonpatch upon meeting him and Pythonpatch immediately dies.

Buzzardpaw seizes the power vacuum and declares herself Buzzardstar. Blueback thinks he deserves to be leader instead and attacks Buzzardstar, and in their scuffle fall off a cliff and both die.

Lilacback takes Pythonback and decides to go back to LeapClan territory. She is greeted by the whole of LeapClan, who are actually all alive, and they are so moved by her story they pronounce her the true leader of LeapClan, with Pythonback acting as her deputy.
