This has mildly improved the Flounder Feeder’s stability but without the insulating layer of blubber, has significantly increased the rate of heavy metal poisoning. While most of the metals are relatively inert, the filter organ is far from infallible and many are not. This has a negative effect on nearby internal organs, the brain being at particular risk of debilitation. Alongside a mild surge of radiation rendering much of the higher Flounder Feeders sterile, this has caused a dramatic drop in the Flounder Feeder population. The Flounder Feeders are now nearly endangered.
