🐠 Daily Fish Fact: 🐠

The Wahoo is a scombrid fish, (the mackerel, tuna, and bonito family) found worldwide in tropical and subtropical seas. It is best known to sports fishermen, as its speed and high-quality flesh makes it a prized and valued game fish. The barracuda is sometimes confused with the wahoo, but it is easy to distinguish from the latter two species. Barracuda have prominent scales and larger, dagger-like teeth, and lack the caudal keels and blade-like (forked) tail characteristic of the scombrids.

#2583 - Salmo trutta - Brown Trout

The binomial Salmo trutta (trutta is literally Latin for Trout) was originally applied to the brown trout that move to saltwater when they reach adulthood, and return to gravelbeds far upstream to spawn - but it turns out some populations never leave the river, and others only migrate within freshwater, and these had been given their own binomials. A highly adaptable fish, with such variety that there are dozens of synonyms for Salmo trutta, and three still recognised subspecies.

Unfortunately that adaptability is why they're a very invasive species in many parts of the world, where they were introduced as a game fish. The number of cultured trout grown in captivity and released to restock rivers means there are now very few areas left with completely wild genetics anyway.

🐠 Daily Fish Fact: 🐠

Yellowfin tuna often travel in schools with similarly sized companions. They sometimes school with other tuna species and mixed schools of small yellowfin, and skipjack tuna, in particular, are commonplace. They are often associated with various species of dolphins or porpoises, as well as with larger marine creatures such as whales and whale sharks.

An excerpt from a comic I made a couple years ago about fishing in video games. Full comic is on my ko-fi for free (or a couple bucks if you’d like). Happy fishing!
