Who’s Your Daddy?
Scalyhead Sculpins are a tiny fish but the males have a giant parenting role (species Artedius harringtoni).
I found what I believe were this species’ eggs while guiding a recent beach study (Port Hardy, BC).
To share this information, and my photos, I’ve tried something new. Below, you’ll find a slideshow that I have narrated to explain how Scalyhead Sculpins are super dads.
Yes, that’s right, you get to hear my voice this week (oh-so-human stumbled speech and all!). Please realize I am speaking as I would to a +/- 10 year old.

FABULOUS! I really enjoyed the commentary, very informative and interesting Jackie, keep the blogs coming!
Thank you my buddy. Discovered a big typo and am now uploading yet another version!
Hi Jackie (and hi Jacqui too),
I really, really like the narration.
Before I liked the pictures just fine, but now I want voice everytime.
A whole new dimension that adds so much information and feels warm and personal.
yah tell me everything, talk to me like a 10 year old!

You are so wonderful Gillian! Can’t tell you how much I value the encouragement. Big threshold to put my disembodied voice out there!
I like the narration idea, it sounds great! It’s amazing that gust one male can protect all those eggs, it must go around that rock like a billion times and i thought that it would be more than gust 4 or 5 females that laid those eggs!
PS
I’m glad that you found Rocket, I was starting to get worried about him/her.
