The Disney film, Finding Nemo, lied to your kids!   Disney would simply argue that they altered reality to create a more entertaining storyline, but read below for the true story, and you tell me which you think is a more entertaining. Disney forced them to hide the truth! How Finding Nemo started: Father and mother clownfish are tending to their clutch of eggs at their sea anemone when the mother is eaten by a barracuda. Nemo is the only surviving egg and he grows up in his father’s anemone before getting lost on a crazy adventure! Video of the opening scenes: How Finding Nemo should have started if it were biologically accurate: Father and mother clownfish are tending to their clutch of eggs at their sea anemone when the mother is eaten by a barracuda. Nemo hatches as an undifferentiated hermaphrodite (as all clownfish are born) while his father transforms into a female now that his female mate is dead. Since Nemo is the only other clownfish around, he becomes a male and mates with h

Many TV shows and nature guides have been dedicated to educating the public on the most poisonous and venomous spiders, snakes and even frogs, but what about fish? Unlike spiders or snakes, we rarely hear about which fish are the most poisonous (or venomous). This week we are dedicating our blog post to these hazardous fish. (Cooney) First though let’s clarify some terminology. Poisonous and venomous are terms often used interchangeably but they have different meanings. A venomous animal has a means of injecting their toxin into another animal, whereas a poisonous animal can only deliver their toxin in a more passive manner (by being touched or eaten). A common example given to clarify this difference is that frogs are poisonous while snakes are venomous. It is also important to note that the affects from a venomous fish sting can often be relieved by immersing the wound in hot water (~105–115F) because these toxins are heat labile (meaning they can be destroyed or altered by heat). 1.

Beat 5 MOST Noxious AND VENOMOUS FISH!  Numerous Television programs and nature guides have been devoted to instructing the general population on the most harmful and venomous bugs, winds and even frogs, yet shouldn't something be said about fish? Not at all like insects or snakes, we once in a while catch wind of which fish are the most toxic (or venomous). This week we are devoting our blog entry to these dangerous fish.  (Cooney)  To begin with however we should clear up some phrasing. Toxic and venomous are terms frequently utilized conversely yet they have diverse implications. A venomous creature has a method for infusing their poison into another creature, though a noxious creature can just convey their poison in a more uninvolved way (by being touched or eaten). A typical illustration given to elucidate this distinction is that frogs are toxic while snakes are venomous. It is likewise critical to note that the effects from a venomous fish sting can frequently be mitigated b

White Sox, Red Sox, Esox.  People obsess more about one of these three “sox” than the other two.  Only fisherpeople will know which one prevails. Sasha Doss holds a muskie captured during one of her research trips. Guest Author, Sasha Doss, holds a Muskellunge captured during one of her research trips. Studying Muskellunge has been such a wonderful experience. Many of my days over the past few years as a graduate student in fisheries have started cold and way too early preparing for a day of Muskellunge sampling. But every minute spent handling and interacting with Muskellunge makes those mornings well worth the cold and lost sleep. Their speed, resilience, beautiful coloration, and toothiness continue to fascinate me, and I am full of appreciation for the predator. So when I was asked if I’d be interested in writing about Muskellunge and other esocids for the blog, I couldn’t say no. I hope you find yourself as fascinated as I am! Members of the Esox genus, especially the larger pikes

Yellow roost deliver eggs in thick strips, yet so far no one knows why. We investigated this unconventional quality by led a few examinations to check whether these strips shield eggs from predators.  Defenseless and scrumptious. Angle eggs and hatchlings are a vitality rich supper for predators. For a few animal varieties, predator utilization of eggs and hatchlings can reach up to 30% of the accessible youthful fish every day. Numerous types of fishes have embraced an assortment of security systems to expand posterity survival. Some fish scattering eggs extensively, construct settles, and even convey eggs in their mouths for additional assurance.  Expecting that a fish has a constrained measure of vitality accessible for proliferation, there is an exchange off between the aggregate number of posterity a parent can create and the measure of vitality spent securing or guaranteeing survival for every individual posterity.  Egg cases –slimy, thick shield?

"All in all, you're heading off to the dull side?"  That is a question I got a ton when I told my associates that I would work for a power organization following five years as a state office fisheries researcher. While I would chuckle and play along when I heard that remark, truly it is really a long way from reality. The open doors I've needed to advance preservation as an industry scholar are colossal. There are a wide range of streets that a fisheries vocation can travel, and it might well be that a comparable street is the correct one for some of you perusing this.  Reef bass are a cornerstone animal varieties for protection in Georgia; part at-hazard endemic, part gamefish, and profoundly portable, it unites a differing set of partners (photograph credit: Andrew Taylor)  Reef bass are a cornerstone animal varieties for protection in Georgia; part at-hazard endemic, part gamefish, and profoundly portable, it unites a differing set of partners.
