The northern pike, or common pike (lat. Esox lucius).

A predatory fish that prefers to hunt from ambush. Lying motionless in underwater vegetation in shallow waters, the pike suddenly lunges at its prey. Besides fish, it may target any animal it deems weaker than itself. There have even been recorded cases of attacks on adult ducks and muskrats. Interestingly, a pike's teeth are continuously replaced throughout its life as they wear down or are lost🌊

Щука обыкновенная (лат. Esox lucius).

Хищная рыба, предпочитающая охотиться из засады. Замерев в зарослях растительности на мелководье, щука внезапным рывком бросается на добычу. Помимо рыб ее жертвой может стать любое животное, которое щука посчитает слабее себя. Были даже зафиксированы случаи нападения на взрослых уток и ондатр. Интересно, что зубы у щук заменяются новыми по мере утери или износа на протяжении всей жизни🌊

Diver Befriends A Fish Who Keeps Coming Back To See Him He even made up a sound to call for him when he goes diving 💙 We spoke to Rex about how he initially met Elvis, how he's able to recognize him every time, and how Elvis transformed the way he thinks about ocean life!

Marine ecosystems are full of omega-3: little fish eat marine plankton, and get eaten by bigger fish, and the whole food chain passes on omega-3 to humans. But the system is different for farmed fish, which is what most of us eat. “In a fish farm, it’s just thousands of fish in a cage. They eat what they’re given by the fish farmer,” Prof. Napier says. In farms, fish are often fed fish meal made from Peruvian anchovies. But these anchovies are already being fished at the maximum level at which the industry can be sustained, Napier says – even as global aquaculture is expected to keep growing. According to the UN’s Food and Agricultural Organization, growing demand for fish oil supplements means that the fish oil contained in the fish meal fed to farmed fish is diminishing. That means the amount of omega-3 in the fish we consume is declining, too. “There are finite levels of omega fish oils that come out of the ocean each year – that’s all we’ve got,” he says. “If aquaculture is expanding but the most important input you need to put into people’s diets, the fish oil, is completely static, you’re diluting how much is fed to the fish.”

Lion’s mane jellyfish– Alexander Semenov

The lion’s mane jellyfish is the largest jellyfish, with tentacles measuring up to 58 metres and a body width of up to seven metres. Some have been known to rival the world’s largest animal, the blue whale, in size. While overfishing threatens wild fish stocks around the world, Jellyfish are known to thrive in areas that are disturbed by humans and most populations are on the rise, so they may be appearing on our plates in the not-too-distant future.
