## Resource

Scientists are racing to solve a marine mystery: why older female rockfish—black, canary, and yellowtail—are vanishing off the West Coast. Once abundant, these long-lived fish are now rarely caught past age 30, threatening future populations. A research team set sail for the remote Cobb Seamount and North Pacific Gyre, hoping to locate these elusive elders and determine if they’re still reproducing. Theories range from hidden habitats to overfishing of younger females—or even migration into the Gyre as a retirement zone. But researchers lean toward a grim truth: these fish may be dying younger due to environmental stressors like lost food sources. This expedition could unlock critical data to safeguard these vital species—and the ocean’s balance. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
