Big Pyrosome Catch

Caption

Portland, Oregon,-based muralist Esteban Camacho, the artist-in-residence during this summer's research cruise off the Pacific Northwest Coast, displays a large pyrosome found offshore, where the animals, known popularly as sea pickles, appear to be adapting to cool water after moving northward from warmer waters off the California coast.
