Sometime after 2014 - no one can say exactly when - scientists started getting reports of a mysterious sea creature showing up on Oregon beaches. And not just a few either - these things were showing up by the millions, and they were unlike anything scientists had ever seen here before. They are pyrosomes, or “sea pickles” as they are sometimes called.

We saw these creatures while anchored off of Santa Cruz Island near Santa Barbara in winter of 2021. They looked surreal - gently glowing while very slowly navigating along through the clear shallow water of the anchorage.

I've fished the California coast for almost twenty years commercially. These are a common sight off California in the summer clogging up our salmon wires. Some years we see them late or early on our crab gear. Year round I have historically seen the yellowed remains of them in the bellies of sablefish when J-cutting them before sale at the hoist. We call them something much more colorful. But yeah. it's the same species as those knobbly pinkish "French ticklers" we get folded over the salmon wires down here near the Farallons.

Are they a good food source for the creatures native to the area? As the water continues to warm, will the creatures who used to live there move to a cooler area? This is probably part of the ocean warming process.

We are learning what happens as the Earth does a natural thing. When the great barrier reef leached everyone thought it was dead, however it simply entered a bleaching event that is a natural thing and the reef is returning. We really do not know what this planet is capable of. We have the technology now to learn, but science is dying with greed.

Normal conditions? That's a pipe dream..

@VCLegos Месяц назад

Everything is normal conditions my guy. I learned about that in my differential equations class while studying mechanical engineering. Populations will explode exponentially then they will plateau and then they will decline. It’s a cycle. If you were a baby born in the winter and saw the trees growing leaves in the spring you would assume the leaves would continue growing until they consumed the entire ecosystem. But, if you just wait a little while, the fall will come and all the leaves will die. Then it all cycles again next spring. It’s a cycle, everything in this universe is. There are times when things grow and when they die. We are currently in a massive growing stage. Things will change, but they will change for the better.

@randallsmerna384 Месяц назад

"Normal" is relative. Just like "Climate Change"... Only humans have the audacity and arrogance to proclaim the climate as being stable...

@Frosty294492 Месяц назад

@@VCLegos I believe he meant the oceans will not return to normal conditions. Ocean temperatures are extremely above normal. It takes an incredible amount of energy to warm up water, just ask a chef, so thinking that they will just cool back down is "the pipe dream".

@Andy-vt7sl Месяц назад

@@Frosty294492changing one’s perspective from a season in a year to a millennia or a thousand millennia means this analogy works, however. Yes, massive energy to change ocean temp, but in the scheme of hundreds of thousands of years it’s all minuscule.
