Daily fish fact #585

Fish anatomy!

Fishes have a great number of fins, which help them balance themselves and move around their environment. Some fish have fins that are highly specialised for certain tasks, for example the elongated and large pectoral fins of a flying fish allow them to glide and the pelvic fins of gobies tend to be fused together to form a suction disc!

Who would have thought fish had so many bones just in their skulls? Luckily I have Ragnar to keep me sane while I cry over bones and parts of bones and what they do

I saw a post where someone interpreted a mermaid's lower half as being 100% accurate to fish anatomy and that bothered me because like

But if that's where you want your mermaid's butt to be, go on ahead

how is this a sapphic blog if you only ever write about dicks and cocks and male anatomy

Because…sapphic transwomen exist?

Idk what to tell you anon, also no, I don’t write only about women with dicks. If you scroll through my fics and other thirsts throughout my blogs, you’d see I write about the fictional women being either cis women or trans women, depending on what I feel like thirsting about that day.

Kind of a pointless argument there, unless you are trying to start up something :/

Endangered MerMay: Banggai cardinalfish

Endangered Edition. Read more to learn more about this fish! (and mermaid!)

Banggai cardinalfish males take care of their young by keeping the eggs and fry in their mouth. Since mermaids don't have a very large mouth, the Banggai cardinalfish mermaid has instead opted to cary them in woven shawls. They are a social mermaid and group together near coral coves. They tend to be 3-4 ft long.

The Banggai cardinalfish is a small tropical cardinalfish located solely off the Banggai islands of Indonesia. This species is known for it's beautiful colors, unique brooding methods, and flashy fins. Sadly it is these traits that have pushed it to be endangered by risk of the aquatic pet trade. It is important to keep these fish from going extinct in the wild, so be mindful and only buy these fish from captive breeders!

#imagine the mermaids and these fish are both endangered in this universe #This was a bit difficult to draw. I don’t often draw fish and my human anatomy still needs work #but overall I’m really happy with it. Especially the inclusion of the Babies! So Smoll #Banggai cardinalfish #mermay #mermaid #my art #mermay 2024 #mermay art

I cannot believe I didn't post this one here! Drawn last year, the biggest page of my fish anatomy and histology atlas.

Technically, transverse sections are more useful for looking at symmetry, so you can see if something is bilateral, but sagittal sections are just so cute! I love seeing a whole fish on a slide.

Fish fact #590

Fish anatomy!

The anal fin is a fin that's located on the underside of the body behind the anus, many fishes have this fin. Its main purpose is to stabilise the fish while it's swimming, but some fishes like the knifefishes use it exclusively for propulsion! Pufferfishes, sunfishes and boxfishes use the anal fin in tandem with the dorsal fin to swim.

Scientist Accidentally Discovers The Oldest Brain of Any Vertebrate

Paleontologist Matt Friedman was surprised to discover a remarkably detailed 319-million-year-old fish brain fossil while testing out micro-CT scans for a broader project.

"It had all these features, and I said to myself, 'Is this really a brain that I'm looking at?'" says Friedman from University of Michigan.

"So, I zoomed in on that region of the skull to make a second, higher-resolution scan, and it was very clear that that's exactly what it had to be. And it was only because this was such an unambiguous example that we decided to take it further."

Usually, the only remaining traces of such ancient life are from more easily preserved hard parts of animals, like their bones, since soft tissues degrade quickly.

But in this case, a dense mineral, possibly pyrite, seeped in and replaced tissue that had likely been preserved for longer in a low-oxygen environment. This allowed scans to pick up what look like cranial nerve and soft tissue details of the small fish, Coccocephalus wildi....
