Dead Plainfin Midshipman Fish

A plainfin midshipman fish (Porichthys notatus) boiled to death on the shores of Vancouver Island. The victim of a heat wave (a recent study concluded it would have been almost impossible without human-made climate change) that coincided with extremely low tides in the middle of the day. The fish come into the intertidal zone to mate, spawn and protect their eggs.
