Fish father caring for nest, video

Posted on November 21, 2012 by petrel41

This video is the short film Double Devotion, by Peter van Rodijnen. It won the main award at the North Sea Film Festival 2012.

The film shows how a small male fish, a shorthorn sculpin, takes care of two nests with eggs in winter in the Grevelingen lake in the Netherlands.

  You’re welcome 🙂 This happens also in some other fish species. With seahorses and pipefish, the males even get pregnant:
