Here's one of the weirder ones I've heard, speaking of whales. My buddy is working on hydroelectric dams up in the northwest. Right now, they have adult salmon coming upstream around the dams and kid salmon going downstream. To aid the fingerlings, they blow water over or through the dam to wash them downstream. Now this is coming about 4th hand, filtered through a few non-technical but reliable people, but they say that the turbulence of that extra water going over the dam puts a lot of air in the water, and the adult salmon coming upstream get skin bends. My friend was told to watch for fish with visible skin bubbles, often around the mouth and fins, large enough to remove scales. Not sure I believe this. Could be parasites, but they are studying these fish, and I'm sure somebody would have cut one open and know the truth. | You can't have everything.
