[2] Chinook salmon and steelhead are raised, and about 4 million Chinook salmon and 430,000 steelheads released each year. [3]

These organisms migrate up into shallower water at dusk to feed on plankton. The layer is deeper when the moon is out, and can become shallower when clouds pass over the moon. [10] Sampling via deep trawling indicates that lanternfish account for as much as 65% of all deep sea fish biomass. [3]
