Fishy Facts

Fish are cold-blooded animals with backbones, gills, and fins. Most fishesare torpedo-shaped for the efficient travel through water, but muchvariation occurs, from flattened and rounded, as in flounders, to verticaland angular, as in sea horses. Fishes range in size from the pygmy goby, ofthe Philippines, which reaches only 12 mm (0.5 in) long and about 1.5 g(0.05 oz) in weight and is mature at 6 mm (0.25 in), to the whale shark

which grows to 18 m (60 ft) long and over 20 tons in weight. Fish were among the first animals systematically hunted by primitive

humans. Even today, relatively primitive societies in the South Pacific andSouth America depend largely on fish for food; while in many industrializednations, fish still constitute a major part of the diet. It is said that thesearch for codfish led French fishermen to the discovery of Canada andthat villages sprang up on the coasts of Norway, Scotland, Japan, and other

countries wherever shoals of herrings regularly came close to shore. Todayfishes are harvested for unprocessed human food, fish meal, animal feed,and oil. They also are pursued avidly by sport anglers, who contribute tothe economy of fishing areas and to specific industries. Currently, however,the increasing human population, over fishing to supply this population,and pollution of the world's waters are all cutting heavily into the worldsupply of fish, and threatening the existence of a number of species. At thesame time, regulations to curtail the taking of certain species or sizes arevirtually unenforceable on an international level.
