See it quite often. I'll try to hunt up some of my pics.


Now I'm intrigued! Please put up your pics.


Ok, here is a really easy to see example of an absorbed twin. Sometimes you will only see a slight difference in scales or coloration, this one clearly shows the dorsal patterns and color of the absorbed twin, and also has a couple additional fins (even another adipose). Note the tri-lobe tail, adipose next to the anal fin, and dorsal coloration on the ventral side of the dominate survivor smolt.
