Fish names with a story for this week. I’ve gone for the John Dory. No one knows why it’s called that for sure but it’s also called Peter’s fish as it’s fabled to bear the thumbprint of St. Peter on its side.

Due to its body shape (max length 11 m - record among bony fish), Regalecus glesne is better known as oarfish. Some dub it king-of-herring, believing it leads their schools. In Japanese folklore it is Jinja hime, a servant of Ryūjin and harbinger of earthquakes!

For this week of "fish and what they eat", I wanted to talk about pumpkinseed. Thanks to its pharyngeal jaw, this is one of the only centrarchid that can crush and eat snails and mollusks. It can even remove spiny waterflea spine b4 eating them!
