DoctorStrangelove posted:The fish seem bigger in this game compared to the first one. I know you guys mentioned that everything in EO1 was much smaller than it should be, but they seem to have gotten the scale about right here. The whales still seemed a bit small but not as bad as the first game. The models in general just look better. This is especially evident if you remember the Great Whites from EO1.

If we do all of the segments in the first update update 12 is gonna be boring as hell. Mollusk love is comin'. Crustaceans and echinoderms, too!

Like I said in the video, zapping is just basically long-distance bellyrubs. Bellyrub all the dolphins you want. Hell, bellyrub some coral or that rusty old anchor.

To everyone asking if we are going to cover so-and-so creature, etc. Trust me, me and Zorak and to cover as much as we can. As much as you are excited this thread is happening me and Zorak are twenty times that I guarantee. There's so many things planned segment wise and we're only two updates in. Trust me, things are coming, including segments on the things not actually in the game. (Like I did last thread.) Semper piscis. Zagglezig posted:So is that a realistic size for the egg they showed off? Seemed pretty hefty and I've only seen footage of the leathery pouch style eggs and those looked 5-6 inches.  Here's the egg of a Horn Shark (Heterodontus francisci). A similar sized, relative of the Japanese Bullhead that's found off of California. To correct Zorak (from an answer I helped give after misunderstanding the question), the egg cases of Japanese Bullhead sharks have upwards of fifteen eggs within it.

Rogue 7 posted:Is this one of those cases where the shark(s) that hatch first inside then devour all the others so only one emerges from the big pouch, or am I misremembering something from my youth? No, that's a thing that occurs in live-birth giving sharks like the Sand Tiger Shark (Carcharias taurus). I'm honestly not sure if intrauterine cannibalism occurs in any other sharks to be honest.

Yep. We also don't tend to use common dolphins as performers, etc. But it's the common dolphins that the Greeks, etc. painted in their murals. Here's even the trivia entry on the Common Dolphin from the game: [The true dolphin] "When people think of dolphins, they usually think of the bottlenose dolphin. But, as its name suggests, the common dolphin is the real representative dolphin—the dolphin amongst dolphins."

DoctorStrangelove posted:So are Sailfish different from Swordfish? Or are they the same? Because you said that Sailfish have little commercial value, but Swordfish are eaten. Sailfish are different! Sailfish are in the genus Istiophorus along with the Marlins. Swordfish are in the genus Xiphias. They're similar looking when you look at them, but their body types are almost completely different: Sailfish are long and slender, Swordfish are more stout-bodied and rounded.

If you take fish that are under reg's, law enforcement will take them. You don't get to go "welp, didn't know. Gonna take my fish home, sorry!" Nope. The fish are evidence and are going to be confiscated.

Is there a big refrigerated room with a bunch of dead fish?

Speaking of fish with long protrusions off of their face! This showed up on our docks one day. I can only assume either a gull dropped this ballyhoo (Hemiramphus brasiliensis) or it stupidly landed on the dock while fleeing something else. Ballyhoo aren't billfish, but halfbeaks. See if you can figure out why.  The name ballyhoo comes from the native Brazilian Tupí–Guaraní term "b'ayi hyo" meaning "penis fish"

DoctorStrangelove posted:I was re-watching the last update, and holy crap the fish they touch before the Sturgeon has the scientific name "fish fish". "Anthias" is an old name that refers to a large fish of unknown identity. The best guess is it refers to the Gilt-head Breem (Sparus aurata). So currently it's just "a fish a fish". It's a quirk of how Linnaeus named things. In the upcoming episode a fish's genus is the ancient name for the specific fish. You'll see how that goes.

Mr. Vile posted:The name echidna ("spiny one") was already taken by a genus of moray eels, and so the name was changed to Tachyglossus ("swift-tongued"). In both cases the old name stuck as the common name, presumably because it's shorter and catchier. Another fun fact! The name Echidna is much more fitting for the serpentine-formed moray! Echidna comes from the Greek ekhidna for "Viper". The word for "Spiny" is ekhinos and also was used for sea urchins and hedgehogs. It's also part of the word Echinoderm (Spiny skin). Always double check your classical language before naming in it! On that note: The Yellowfin Tuna's binomial is Thunnus albacares. Why not the Albacore tuna (Thunnus alalung)? When Pierre Joseph Bonnaterre named both species in 1788 he had his specimens mixed up. The name was the first one given so it stuck. Oops. There are a lot of weird quirks with binomials sometimes. Aw yeah, bringing it back to fish relevance.

McDragon posted:Um, and I've heard that at least in a linguistics context, octopuses is a perfectly acceptable plural for octopus. Actually, there seems to not be much of a consensus there. Maybe in a science way it's different? Octopuses is the most commonly used way in both the US and UK. Octopodes comes from the the root-form of the word being Greek. While Octopi comes from the misapprehension that Octopus is Latin. Either way, all three are listed in the OED, and when you get down to it? Who cares? Common usage kind of trumps all. Call them whatever the hell you want. I personally just use the singular as both that and plural. In short, Octopus are so good at camouflage that they've hidden how to properly pluralize their name.

In the 20th century, there were three fatal wolf attacks in the United States. Two of them were both children and due to the wolves being kept as pets. The third sounds like complete bullshit involving a man finding his brother's bones in a "wolf-den". Have a terrible Anti-wolf site with both made-up bullshit and terrible "proof": http://www.prosts.com/Article-Wolf-Attacks.htm Notice all of the dates on the articles. Notice they all involve grown men. Several involve wolves "erupting from dens" and one is an Ohio newspaper in 1916 reporting on a supposed happening in Seoul, South Korea. None of the actual attacks in the US can be found in public records as being fatal. Wolf attacks happen, they do, but they are few and very far between. Compare to the six fatal Cougar attacks that happened in the 1990s alone. As humans encroach on the wild, attacks will happen but they're still not commonplace.

rotinaj posted:Watching old eps of your first Endless Ocean LP, and the way you guys are talking about Monkfish, it seems like monkfish is rarer where you live. We stock monkfish in my seafood department almost daily. They're far more common up north than they are here in Florida. Pretty much everyone I work with who was up north has Monkfish stories though. When I said I would eat a monkfish, I would. They're very good!
