Presented by: Milton Love
There are maybe 1,500 fish species along the Pacific Coast of North America. You will be happy to know that we are not going to talk about all of them. No, this is a talk for people with short attention spans, as no one story will be longer than, oh, maybe at the most 5 minutes. So, if you don’t like one, don’t worry, there will be another one right around the bend. Yes, from fishes that change sex, to fishes that don’t change sex; from fishes that make sounds so loud they keep people in houseboats wide awake at night, to fishes that are very, very quiet and kind of withdrawn; and from fishes that eat you, to fishes that you eat; this talk has, if not all, at least, well, something … Oh, and we do spend a few minutes simply ragging on salmon, which we do not like.
