What enemies does the Puffer fish have?

Biologists think pufferfish, developed their famous "inflatability" because their slow, somewhat clumsy swimming style makes them vulnerable to predators. In lieu of escape, pufferfish use their highly elastic stomachs and the ability to quickly ingest huge amounts of water (and even air when necessary) to turn themselves into a virtually inedible ball several times their normal size. Some species also have spines on their skin to make them even less palatable.

A predator that manages to snag a puffer before it inflates won't feel lucky for long. Almost all pufferfish contain tetrodotoxin, a substance that makes them foul tasting and often lethal to fish. To humans, tetrodotoxin is deadly, up to 1,200 times more poisonous than cyanide. There is enough toxin in one pufferfish to kill 30 adult humans, and there is no known antidote.

However, some predators, such as tiger sharks and sea snakes, are unbothered by the pufferfish's natural toxins.

Where do wolf fish live?

The Atlantic wolffish (Anarhichas lupus), also known as the Seawolf, Atlantic catfish, ocean catfish, wolf eel (the common name for its Pacific relative), or sea cat, is a marine fish, the largest of the wolffish family Anarhichadidae. They are commonly sighted throughout Asia. The numbers of the Atlantic wolffish are rapidly depleting due to overfishing and by-catch, and is currently a Species of Concern according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). Although it looks fearsome, the Atlantic wolffish is only a threat to humans when defending itself out of the water. Apart from their unique appearance wolffish are distinguished by the natural antifreeze they produce to keep their blood moving fluidly in their very cold habitat, involvement by both the male and female in brood bearing, and the large size of their eggs. They are also an important factor in controlling green crab and sea urchin populations, which can become overly disruptive to habitats if left unchecked. Wolffish population success is also an important indicator of the health of other bottom dweller populations, such as cod.

How old do you have to be to take fish oil?

Most doctors agree that fish oil can be taken at any age, just in smaller amounts as years old. For example, they have fish oil for kids 7 and under in most pharmecutical stores, but I recommend 500 mg or less if adult fish oil pills in kids. Anything over 500 is save for adults. Or so I hear.

Many doctors recommend pregnant mothers take fish oil supplements especially in the second and third trimester. It is recommended that your child is at least one year old before taking fish oil supplement. Studies show that fish oil supports cognitive development. Children taking fish oil supplements have scored better test results than those who do not. Dosage differs with age so ask your family physician about the dosage for your child. If your child is over 12 years old, you may want to try Triple Strength Omega 3 which contains a pharmaceutical grade fish oil offer a purity of above 90 percent.

What fresh water fish eats human flesh?

Most members of the Piranha family, very likely eat human flesh. Plenty of anecdotal and real evidence on the Internet.

In USA terms, there is also a very real possibility, that the Northern Snakehead fish will, and has been known, to attack humans, inflicting quite serious injury.

Most documented cases, have involved people trying to 'scoop-up' young Snakeheads for possible use in a home aquarium. Huge mistake!! The parent fish is known to be incredibly protective of it's 'family' and will attack at any opportunity it is given!

This fish also has frogs and rats on its 'menu' so a few 'dangled fingers' in the water will make a tempting snack!
