DID YOU KNOW...
FISH ACTUALLY CAN
BREATHE AIR, AND DROWN!
Fish, like people,
need oxygen to live. A fish out of water is a fish out of its
element. A fish comes fully equipped with a pair of gills, which
it uses to breathe under water. The gills extract
life-sustaining oxygen from the hydrogen in the water molecules,
in order to regulate the amount of oxygen intake. This maintains
the necessary balance of the two components of water for the
fish to survive.
When a fish is taken out of water, and exposed only to air, not
to oxygen and hydrogen containing water, its gills are unable to
control the oxygen intake, the delicate balance cannot be
maintained, and the gills inhale a lethal overdose of oxygen.
The fish essentially experiences death by "drowning."

THE BIGGEST....
NOT A FISH TALE
The biggest fish in
the world are: the whale shark at 50,000 pounds, the basking
shark at 32,000 pounds, the great white shark at 7,000 pounds,
the Greenland shark at 2,250 pounds, and the tiger shark at
2,070 pounds.
About one-third of
the world's fish harvest is used to feed pets and livestock.
