The Spotted Drums spend their days hiding in caves and crevices in reefs in the Bahamas, Bermuda, the Caribbean, and Florida.

Also, La Nina or EL Nino can also play a role by not only changing the temperature of the water but also by bringing some silt/sand along with nutrients up from the bottom of the ocean.

When moving from saltwater to freshwater where the salt levels are much lower they increase the level of osmosis in their gills to make up for the loss of sodium and chlorine.

Now, ‘fishless’ doesn’t mean no fish at all, at least immediately, but instead refers to a ‘collapse’ of the species… A species collapse means that 90% of the species are gone. With a 90% reduction in organisms, eventually, the number will end up climbing to 100%. This is mostly due to the issue of overfishing and the impact of climate change on ocean ecosystems.

They are able to travel hundreds of miles and can maintain the intensity of 140 decibels as far as 300 miles from the source. Since the whales had no signs of injury, it is very reasonable to believe that sonar and loud ocean noise drove them out of deep water towards the beach.

They also follow a lunar periodicity pattern, which is why the swim to the surface to mate around the time of a full moon. The females then give off a green glow, looking like “marine fireflies”. The glowing, though amusing for human spectators, is designed to attract the attention of males at the bottom.
