    Hi everyone,
    In a scientific context, the term "fishes" is commonly used when referring to different types/species of fish. Also, there is an actual difference between a venomous and poisonous organism, and this lies in the way the toxin or poison is delivered into the body of its victim. If an organism injects its venom into the body through stings or fangs, then it’s venomous. Conversely, if the organism’s poison has to be swallowed, ingested, or come into skin contact with the victim for its effect, then it is poisonous.
    Thanks you for your support!

      I can tell you have done your research, and are at least knowledgeable about the subject. You have addressed the main concern I came to address. However, please be more careful in the future. I'm only meaning that with the mistakes (and other extremely minor ones), it felt like the script was written by . Even if it was, that's cool, but hide that with personal editing. Also, please btw.....I'm not a RUclipsr, this is only my opinion (definitely not asked for).

    Catfish venomous.... you are not mentioning the pectoral fins too and the slime is not poisonous. Hard head catfish and Gaftop catfish, plus many more swim in schools, they fin each other not on purpose it just happens. The slime is a natural protection, the next time you get fined by a hard head, rub that slime in to the wound, then tell me how fast you get relief!!!!

    Fun fact: not all venomous ray-finned fish are classified as spiny-rayed fish (superorder Acanthopterygii), toadfish (order Batrachoidiformes) and catfish (order Siluriformes) belong to the superorders Paracanthopterygii and Ostariophysi respectively, toadfish are more closely related to cod, trout-perches, clingfish, anglerfish, cusk-eels, beardfish, and tubeeyes, while catfish are more closely related to other members of the Ostariophysi superorder such as carp, minnows, new world knifefish, characins, piranhas, tigerfish, beaked sandfish, and milkfish.

    I just learned my aunt and uncle did not care if a toadfish stung me. They encouraged me to fish of their dock and catch many of them. Geeze.

    • @OfficialWScience
      @OfficialWScience  10 месяцев назад

      Actually they can do both. But for them to be venomous through a bite, they should have a venom gland connected to their teeth, which isn't the case; do you see the point? However, the venom apparatus of a venomous toadfish is comprised of dorsal and opercular spines (enclosed within a sheath) connected to venom glands. Even though the majority have venom that is lethal to humans, some species have venom that is less likely to harm humans. Probably, that was the case here

    What about the Puffer Fish, such as the toxic one that is eaten as a delicacy in Japan?
    Fugu, I believe it's called.

    • @OfficialWScience
      @OfficialWScience  10 месяцев назад

      It's actually poisonous rather than venomous. By the way, not all pufferfish species are toxic, but many contain elevated concentrations of tetrodotoxin (TTX) in their livers, ovaries/eggs, particularly during spawning. This particular toxin is also present in digestive tissue, muscles, and skin, with most species possessing glands/secretory cells in their skin that harbor tetrodotoxin. External stimuli lead to the release of their toxin. Factually, this toxin imparts a foul smell to their flesh, serving as a deterrent against consumption by predators.

      @@matthewmorshead2594 You are absolutely correct. I have had many, many people tell me that I am out of my mind and that there was no chance of him surviving the incident. Same goes for nearly any impaling object, i.e a large shard of glass or a knife, you should leave it in and seek medical attention, the obstruction very well could be keeping an artery, in a sense, intact and preventing massive blood loss.

      @erikm8372 10 месяцев назад

      “What do you mean??” 😂 haha, there are quite a few differences between true, bony fishes (aka, fish with bones, lol, called the Osteichthyes) and skates, sharks, rays, guitarfish, among others, which are made of cartilage, hence their name of Elasmobranchs, or “cartilaginous” fishes. They’re not TRUE fish, though they’ve evolved some convergent similarities. But the same similarities, such as anatomy and habits, are also their differences, as well… some convergent similarities between fish and elasmobranchs include the use of gills to breathe, the fact that they live in the ocean, their diets, the part of the ocean they may live in, and just basic traits that many people take for granted.
