    I think the mouthbrooding of the parazens could be explained by just the lack of feeding opportunities in the mesopelagic zone. Sure you might have some photosynthesis but since you're feeding mostly on seafalls, marine snow and other detritus, it makes sense that if you want your baby fish to eat and not be eaten by some crabs, you keep em on you.

    some freshwater aquarium 'Cichlid' fish are monthbrooder aswell, we do have couple cichlid in our aquarium that are. The female usually eat a lots just before she breed and then she will not eat not only for the incubation periods of the eggs in her mouth but for several more days until the fry get bigger and she release them, she can get very skinny loosing weight. They are very protective parents and the whole process are kind of entertaining to watch. On the first fews days that the fry are free and released, if the mother feel unconfortable about her babies security, she will catch them all back in her mouth.

  • @duanesamuelson2256

    Cichlids as a group practice parental care. Many of the rift lake cichlids practice mouthbrooding and Discus aren't the only South American cichlids that feed their fry off their body slime (thought they are the most dependent on it).
    A side note Discus in the hobby are often raised totally independent of their parents, those interested can find the technics easily enough. It is very labor intensive however.

      Maybe when it's cooked or preserved in any way that definitely stops every kind of cellular activity, like pickling or dehydration.
      However, fresh fermented food would be like making it alive again. Frankenstein food.
      On a funny note, in the Star Trek universe, Klingons are notorious for being carnivores who consume a lot of alive food, namely "gagh."
      I think in Korea they eat living squid or tiny octopuses. Cheking now.
      Checked and not only in Korea there are alive meals.
      en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eating_live_seafood
      I remember being a child in Chile, that eating raw seafood was usual, sometimes still alive, usually clams and sea urchins. The last ones may have inside a small parasite crab, which was a delicacy to be eaten raw and alive. I saw that once.
      All of that ended when the waters were contaminated with Asian bacteria and red tide algae. No raw seafood is the rule. 👋

    I wonder if the Parazen's eating method is actually a part of why they evolved to hold their eggs in their mouths. They're already used to being picky about what goes in their mouths goes the rest of the way in, so it wouldn't surprise me that they'd have been good at avoiding swallowing their eggs before developing that membrane. Could've been that they kept taking in their eggs while winnowing, and filtered them out of what they wanted to eat, but just, didn't dump them with the rest of the stuff they didn't want to eat.

    • @trishapellis
      @trishapellis 4 года назад +4

      The 'uterus' is really just the biological structure inside the body where egg cells are combined with sperm and potentially wrapped up in an actual egg, or otherwise develop into young. Chickens have them, and in a chicken it's the plade where sperm meets egg cell and the whole gets wrapped in several layers of yolk, white, membranes and calcium, while in mammals it's where sperm meets egg and the result just kinda hangs out. But this means that all reptiles, amphibians, birds and insects have a uterus or something like it - the tsetse fly is just the only insect that uses it the same way mammals do. Also, yes, that one blew my mind as well. I knew one or two snake species hatch from their eggs right before the eggs are laid, but this one's new.

      Convergent evolution, arthropods and mammals are on completely separate branches of the family tree that split before arthropods even existed, back when the protostomes and the deuterstomes split because they didn't agree on which hole was the mouth and which hole was the anus.

It seems really similar to larviparous where the larvae hatches inside the mother Tsetse fly and is birthed live. Am I missing something?
