A new DVD featuring underwater
footage of Southern California fishes:
Take an underwater journey through various marine landscapes
and see a variety of fishes in their natural habitat. Using a
technique called freediving, or breath-hold diving, you'll have
front row seats to witness the widest collection of wild Southern
California fishes ever compiled!
The video is over 1 hour long and is presented in 2 main sections,
each over 30 minutes:
Section 1, Coastal Marine Environment:
In this section, we explore the coastal marine environment, the
sandy shoreline, the rocky and mixed rock sand shoreline, and
the deeper rocky bottom regions, which are dominated by the Giant
Bladder Kelp. We also cover the 3 wrasses that live off Southern
California and the food chain. The food chain is abundant with
phytoplankton and zooplankton. This rich food chain often results
in green water and poor visibility, however it supports an abundance
of baitfish, which in turn feed larger predatory fishes.
Section 2, Offshore Marine Environment:
In this section, we cover fish and sightings at the Channel Islands,
Los Coronado Islands, Tanner and Cortez banks. We also cover kelp
paddies and some migratory yellowfin tuna which usually appear
briefly in the late summer when the water is at its warmest. We'll
spend more time with other popular gamefish and sportfish such
as yellowtail, white seabass, black seabass (protected), barracuda,
bonito and calico bass.
