Paddlefish: Anatomy of a Living Fossil

  • čas přidán 6. 04. 2020
  • The North American Paddlefish, now thought to be the only species of its kind after the presumed extinction of the Chinese Paddlefish, is a living fossil with complex and fascinating anatomical features. ERDC scientists are studying the strong, web-like structure of its rostrum, for example, in hopes of replicating it for use as material to protect military buildings, vehicles and soldiers from attack. Here, ERDC's Jan Jeffrey Hoover provides an in-depth look at Paddlefish anatomy. Paddlefish are native to the Mississippi River and its tributaries.
    The specimen here was handled carefully and in accordance with institutionally approved animal care guidelines. During filming, it was immersed in river water at 2-3 minute intervals and, at the end of filming, was released unharmed. It can be seen at the end of the video swimming off away from the camera.
    To learn more about the LMRCC's work, see lmrcc.org. Video produced by Bruce Reid, Lower Mississippi River Conservation Committee, in partnership with ERDC's Fish Ecology Team.

    I worked in paddlefish research on the rivers of Montana for a few years. I did not know many of these facts, they are even cooler than I thought! Thanks for the info!

    Please read the description. This fish was immersed in water every 2-3 minutes. It was not harmed during the filming. Enjoy the video. Thanks.

      Is that not the equivalent of water boarding to humans? Feels like people are trying to pacify sociopathic behaviour with straw man excuses and the lot of the bewildered herd just buy it. Regardless of this guy releasing this fish and doing whatever he’s doing that fish is hypoxic.

    I caught one of these on the White River in Arkansas back in the early 80's. I of course snagged him while reeling in my line from fishing for catfish. My grandfather told me what it was and I have never seen one since. I also caught that day a sturgeon in the same area. Again never happened again. So cool to see this documentary explaining this complex fish.

      At first the fish was expressing a desire to leave. About half way he's very docile, almost rubbery. Now when you let him go be sure to administer CPR because he can't breathe on his own.
      I wonder if this is what an alien abduction is like. Ok Bob, let's proceed with the rectal exam. Whoa, Sam. Do they normally wiggle like that?

    I caught one of these beautiful fish today on the Mississippi. It was 79.1 lbs. I felt bad catching it. Here in ND there is catch and release days, and days where you have to tag and keep them by law. Unfortunately I had to tag him. I would have loved to release him. It was a rush fighting a paddlefish that size.

    • @alejandrotobienne584

    Now fossilized in the Maastrichtian Hell Creek Formation at a site in North Dakota, sturgeon and paddlefish believed killed in the K-T impact event of 65 million years ago are stars in a scientific paper by Melanie During, Jan Smit &c., “The Mesozoic terminated in boreal spring,” Nature, March 2022; doi:10.1038/s41586-022-04446-1. No paywall. The authors there discuss tiny spherules caught in the gill rakers of those fish; the spherules were ejecta from the impact returning to earth and falling in the water around the fish, which were probably feeding at the time. The impact’s massive seismic disturbance, arriving in North Dakota a few minutes later, then buried them. The open paddlefish mouth shown in this video makes it obvious how easily the spherules must have gotten into the gill rakers of the fossil fish. Pretty cool, if the authors’ reconstruction stands up over the long run.

      Great information, and nice shots, beyond the ridiculous suffocation of the fish you're trying to advocate for protecting. It's clear you know exactly what you're doing, but to someone knew(ish) to the paddlefish, that was pretty fucked.
