Is the position of the pectoral fin lateral in sharks and ventral in bony fish?
The pectoral fins in both sharks and body fish are Lateral, which refers to them being located on the sides. Ventral would mean that the fins are on the bottom of the fish, which is not true.
No, sharks and catfish are different types of fish. Sharks are cartilaginous fish with sharp teeth and a streamlined body design, while catfish are bony fish with distinctive barbels on their faces and often have a flattened body shape. Additionally, sharks are typically found in saltwater environments, while catfish are usually found in freshwater habitats.
Sharks mouths and teeth are designed to take great chunks of meat out of their prey. When a Shark bites you, it creates a really big wound. Maybe takes a limb off. Then, mostly people bleed to Death. Or drown when they become too weak to swim.
Dogfish, a type of small shark, generally grow to be around 1 to 3 feet in length. Some species can reach up to 5 feet in length, but this is less common.
Sharks are caught using various methods such as longline fishing, gillnetting, trawling, and handline fishing. These methods often result in accidental catches of sharks known as bycatch. Targeted shark fishing may also involve using baited hooks or fishing gear designed specifically for catching sharks.
In case it is hard to say because every year people kill sharks and millions get killed a year because people need cartilage from sharks, although mostly people catch them to eat them.
It would be virtually impossible to know how many sharks are left in the oceans of the world. They are being caught and killed at an alarming rate. Some estimates put it at around 100 million a year. Most are caught and killed for "finning". If international laws are not put in place to protect all species of shark, extinction will be inevitable.
The exact number is hard to estimate, but for all of the 350-400 species, and all ages, it is in the hundreds of millions. The number of sharks killed or netted each year is often exaggerated, but is also in the millions.
