First, I'll make the case that although Octolings are grouped with the Octarians by splatoon characters, Octolings and Inklings are much more likely to be different races of the same species than Octolings and Octarians. This is because the genetic similarities between Inklings and Octolings are much more similar than between Octolings and Octarians, as evidenced by the Octolings being much more comfortable in Inkling society as well as having the Calamari Inkantation etched into their souls in exactly the same way as Inklings (DJ Octavio was only able to control them in 2 by using hypnosis) and that Pearl assumed that all the Octolings were just Inklings with a new hairstyle fad until she was explicitly told by Captain Cuttlefish and Marina during Octo Expansion. The lack of reaction to lots of Octolings suddenly showing up in Inkopolis suggests that assumption to be very prevalent, so Inklings and Octolings are similar enough that there are only three slight differences in their physiology (eyes, ears, tentacles) as opposed to the entirely different body structures of Octolings and Octarians. For this reason, I will group Octolings and Inklings together under the Inkling name for the rest of this post (and for convenience)
Next, the ink. When an Inkling's body expires, there is a large explosion of ink, and nothing else, but the Inklings' body structures are too complex for them to be fluid-filled bags, especially when considering visibly exaggerated bones like at the joints. This suggests that although they have cells like any other organism, their bodily fluids are all ink-based, but contain different compounds based on which function they serve (blood plasma contains a variant of haemoglobin, tears/sweat/urine contain dissolved ions, stomach acid contains hydrochloric acid etc) much like the water-based fluids of today's organisms. However, the key difference would be in the pigment. All Inkling ink contains a pigment that is constantly being replaced, so that they can change colour at will. The ink we see used in weapons would therefore also not be pure ink, but would contain enzymes that produce a violent reaction using any two different pigments as a substrate: one from the Inkling, and one from the assailant. This explains why the fluids can all be ink-based but Inklings of different ink-colour would not be killed by each others' blood or tears or... other fluids (clean post bc of subreddit rules). This also explains the violent bodily reactio

A profreshional 605 player here. I decided to post this because I had a really bad time on the last Salmon Run at Marooner's Bay for the exact same reason (going down from 400 to 165.... still managed to get it back to 405 by the end of that shift), and it's happening again in this shift at Polaris. Btw, I don't play Splatoon in English, so please bear with me if I use the wrong terms.
Anyway, seriously. I've seen too many of my teammates jumping off the building into the enemies right when they spot ANY boss salmonids. I'm just tired of being paired up with those idiots that can't understand that there are opportunity costs associated with killing those boss salmonids too far from the basket. Despite me desperately hitting "this way!," they just can't wait to kill those precious, gold-egg-carrier bosses (like Maws, steelheads, scrapper, etc.) .
I wouldn't have posted here if the majority of them do that but just come back to the basket (hopefully with golden eggs) right after. However, at least one of these two things happen:
- They spot another boss salmonids, and STAY THERE to kill them
- They get swarmed and get killed by lesser salmonids near the shore
I guess the worst part is that we still manage to (barely) meet the quota because once all of those idiots are dead, all of the salmonids target me and come closer to the basket. I guess they never learn because all they are looking at is the result of the wave. I really hope there are ways to turn on friendly fire so that I can stop these woomies from jumping off the cliff.
P.S. : For those of you who open every single gusher in goldie seeking event, please don't (especially in wave 1). If you are NOT willing to learn the strategy for goldie seeking and want to keep doing that, at least start from the gushers that are further away from the basket, or follow someone who looks like they know what they're doing. You guys are dubbed "Zen'ake man" (Open-all man) in the Japanese Splatoon community and the most hated kinds of Salmon Run teammates.
Wtf is wrong with you? Idiots!

This must be a great idea because I witnessed this twice last night. Once with the rest of the team spamming This Way and jumping up and down while the other person just ran around like an idiot. At the beginning of the round.
I'm thinking it would be neat to setup several tanks for my grand kids to watch them grow and see the differences between a few species.
can you buy eggs for the different species online to do this?
if it helps, I'm in Canada.
2018 Census of Aquaculture Survey (USDA) released last week. What are everyone's thoughts?
Hi, can anyone link the list of water quality parameter for monitoring aquaculture effluent by any organisation (creditable and trustable sources). I’ve been looking around and can’t seem to find it.
How many Salmonids do you reckon there are roughly? I'd say nearly billions if not in the hundred millions. They're shown living and possibly thriving in water. The same water that's harmful to pretty much everyone in inkopolis. That or they're borderline defenseless. So unless there's many other aquatic rivals to the Salmonids then they pretty much have entire cities-worth of free real estate to colonize and just breed and spread. There's probably hundreds if not thousands of salmonids for every one inkling.

To those that are new to the word, think of Agriculture but centered on selling Fish, removing trash from the oceans, and building lots of natural aquariums. A reason compelling enough to use the river farm besides Crabpots and fishing rods.
Every single rotation we have ever seen is more than capable of taking out bosses by the basket in a timely manner. Stingers can be chipped by bombs or inkjets. Flyfish will inevitably come over; Bomb left basket and let it fly off. Drizzler missiles can easily be shot back. Scrappers are no threat, just as Maws' are. Steelheads are clear targets. The deadliest is a Steel Eel, and even then, they die like chumps. Don't be that guy who abandons his team to go secure one egg of three from the dead Stinger on the far island, lure more bosses over so they stack up and overrun you on basket, and then spam "Help!" with some expectation of being saved after throwing the entire wave for your team.
Thanks for coming to my ted talk.
