A conservation group recorded the video in a tributary of the Columbia River on a day when water temperatures breached 70F
Salmon in the Columbia River were nearly roasted to death when water temperatures rose during the Pacific north-west’s record-shattering heatwave, according to a conservation group that has documented the disturbing sight.
The video released by Columbia Riverkeeper shows the injuries to the sockeye salmon. Video by Conrad Gowell, courtesy of Columbia Riverkeeper A videographer captured the scene for the Columbia Riverkeeper earlier this month as part of the organization’s effort to try to keep track of the salmon’s progress in the heat.
In the video, the salmon can be seen with what looks to be fuzzy white patches, which is likely a fungal infection that appears when salmon become stressed from hot water.Photograph: Conrad Gowell/Courtesy of Columbia Riverkeeper He compared it to 2015, when about 250,000 sockeye died in the Columbia River and its tributaries after an especially hot summer.
