And that's a wrap for grunion spawning season! "What's a grunion?" you might ask? Grunions are small feeder fish that come out to spawn on the high tide line on full and new moons! To spawn, the females will dig themselves into the sand to lay their eggs while the males will surround them to fertilize. It's fun to watch them flop onto the shore! Historically, grunion runs usually only happen in the southern part of our state. But in the last 20 years, grunions have been seen in the bay area, and

Grunion run in Southern California. Nona The Naturalist of Dana Wharf Whale Watching explains about the grunion run. These silvery fish have unique mating behaviors: when spawning season comes, typically March through September, masses of grunion will swim onto the sandy shores at night, as seen in this video. #grunion #danawharf #danapoint #california #visitcalifornia #southerncalifornia #socal #grunionrun | Dana Wharf Whale Watch

Grunion runs make for a very unique sight along Southern California beaches as millions of these little fish leave them water to spawn before returning. Tonight will be a great night to watch this phenomenon between 11:00pm and 1:00am. This video was taken last night at Doheny Beach. If you go, please just watch and enjoy this very cool sight without disrupting them | Orange County Outdoors

The moon's phases shape tides, currents, and even fish behaviors! 🌕 🌊 At our Animal Care Center in Quincy, we're exploring how moon phases impact spawning and whether they influence reproductive behaviors, like those of our weedy seadragons and lookdowns. We're also working to replicate natural habitats that encourage these behaviors! A full moon can trigger schooling behaviors, while a new moon offers a safer environment for fish to venture into open water! Tides also affect water levels in i

The “grunion run” is a biological spectacle specific to the Pacific coast, where thousands of small, silvery fish emerge from the ocean to spawn on the sandy beach. This mass, coordinated onshore movement is a unique reproductive strategy, allowing the fish to deposit their eggs in a location protected from aquatic predators. It is one of the few instances globally where a fish species intentionally leaves the water entirely for reproduction. This phenomenon is tightly synchronized with the moon

Nath ♒︎ Ocean-Minded ♒︎ 🇫🇷🇺🇸 on Instagram: "This female grunion emerged from the sand too quickly, laying her eggs at the surface instead of burying them as usual. While this gave me a rare chance to witness the entire spawning process, including a clear view of a male fertilizing the eggs and the eggs themselves, it likely resulted in an unsuccessful event, as the exposed eggs are vulnerable to drying out, predation, and being washed away too soon.
