No Scales, No Fins, No Good Now we know that fish with scales AND fins are equipped with a digestive system that prevents the absorption of poisons and toxins into their flesh from the waters they call home. Flounder, cod, haddock, and salmon are a few examples of fish with scales and fins. Catfish have fins, but do not have scales. These scavengers are primarily bottom feeders and have digestive systems designed to absorb toxins from the water. Clams, lobster, shrimp, crabs, mussels and squid do not have scales or fins and are believed to be highly toxic. They naturally absorb all the toxins in the water they live in.

- Those of the giant squids reach a length of 10 meters for the tentacles, and 3 meters for the arms. The tentacles are what are used to catch prey. The lower surface of these arms is covered with two rows of suckers. The tentacles of squid and octopi do have a difference.Squids have extra armature-hooks on the sucker rings.he pattern in which squid move, pumping water through the mantle, is also how squid breathe. Most sea animals have visible gills, but squids do not possess gills like most fish do, instead they obtain oxygen through a pair of long ‘gills’ covered in leaflets called lamellae.

Octopus Facts ~ Octopus FAQ The beak is the only hard part of an octopus and squid’s body. It is located on the lower side of the body. In the mouth is a radula, a toothed tongue for rasping. The beak is made of the same material, keratin, that a bird’s beak and our fingernails are made of.

Squid Squid are cephalopods of the order Teuthida, which comprises around 304 species.[2] Like all other cephalopods, squid have a distinct head, bilateral symmetry, a mantle, and arms. Squid, like cuttlefish, have eight arms arranged in pairs and two, usually longer, tentacles.

What You Need to Know About Bounced Checks Bounced checks don’t usually show up on traditional credit reports, unless you are sued or the balance is turned over to a collection agency. But if you write a check to pay a bill to a company that reports to credit bureaus, and it bounces, the late payment may show up on your credit history.

Placoid Scales on Sharks and Rays By Jennifer Kennedy. Definition: Placoid scales (dermal denticles) are tough scales that cover the skin of elasmobranchs (sharks and rays). Even though placoid scales are similar to the scales of bony fish, they are really modified teeth and are covered with a hard enamel.Placoid scales are packed tightly together and grow with their tips facing backwards.his dentine is covered by enamel-like vitrodentine. Scales in bony fish grow as the fish gets larger, but placoid scales stop growing after they reach a certain size, and then more scales are added as the fish grows.

-   The ciliary tracts of gills move strands of mucous with food particles attached to the mouth. From there, the food is moved by cilia to the stomach. So, if the cilia on … the gills didn't work, the mollusk would not receive enough (if any) food.It would die of starvation.ephalopods (squid, octopuses, cuttlefish) also possess a chitinous beak. Unlike the closely related annelids, mollusks lack body segmentation. Development passes through one or two trochophore stages, one of which (the veliger) is unique to the group.

- Bony fishes can swim forward and backward.   Gills:   Both cartilaginous and bony fish have gill slits but the bony fish also have gill covers (an operculum).   Reproduction:   In the Chondrichthyes the males have claspers which assist in copulation. Fertilisation is internal-almost unique among fish. Scales:   Cartilaginous fish have large scales called placoid scales. These have a bone like base embedded in the skin and a backward projecting enamel covered dentine spine. The whole thing has a central pulp cavity (rather like the structure of teeth). The epidermis and dermis form placoid scales.

Contents: Squid vs Octopus Squid vs. Octopus. Octopuses and Squids are both head-footed aquatic animals (cephalopods) but they differ in their physical characteristics, habitat and behavior. An octopus has a round head and a mantle along with eight arms. The arms are endowed with one or two rows of suckers but these never have hooks or sucker rings.

Squid Ink Squid Ink. Squid Ink: Squid Ink refers to the dark cloudy liquid that cephalopods release as a defense when being chased. It is known by many names (squid ink, cuttlefish ink, tinta calamar, nero di seppia, black squid ink, cephalopod ink, octopus ink) and they all refer to the inky black substance.n the sea cephalopods like squid, cuttlefish and octopus use the ink for protection. They release the ink as a predator attacks, and can release it in different ways depending on the situation.

Hydrophiinae As opposed to terrestrial snake species that have imbricate scales to protect against abrasion, the scales of most pelagic sea snakes do not overlap. Reef-dwelling species, such as Aipysurus, do have imbricate scales to protect against the sharp coral.

Molluscs Molluscs have a complex nervous system made up of ganglia and nerve cords, with the octopus having the most highly evolved one. It is also considered to be a very intelligent animal with supposedly an IQ equivalent to that of a domestic cat. The giant squids have very large eyes almost the size of a quarter plate.

How intelligent are squid? Squids have shown to be the most social of 4 cephalopod “groups.” They have been known to communicate with one another by manipulating chromatophores under their skin, effectively changing color. Looking below, we see that the skin on the right has a dark color, but the squid on the left’s right half is actually dark as well. Reef Squid are known to be able to communicate with two other squids at once, and change half of the color on its body to fit the situation. The other “major” sign of intelligence even goes beyond this.

Squid as food The body (mantle) can be stuffed whole, cut into flat pieces or sliced into rings. The arms, tentacles, and ink are edible; the only parts of the squid that are not eaten are its beak and gladius (pen). In Spain and Italy, squid or cuttlefish ink is eaten in dishes such as paella, risotto, soups and pasta.

The Colossal Squid Exhibition The paired tail fin is attached to the upper surface of the mantle and is made up of muscle. The colossal squid swims forward through the water by undulating the fin longitudinally. The fin is unusually massive and muscular (1,183 millimetres long and 982 millimetres wide). This probably enables the colossal squid to move forward quite rapidly in short bursts when attacking prey.

Crowned seahorse fact file Like other seahorses, the head is held at right angles to the body, the eyes can move independently of each other, and the tail is prehensile. Instead of having scales, as most other fish do, seahorses have a layer of skin stretched over bony plates that are visible as rings passing around the trunk. Swimming is powered by the rapidly oscillating dorsal fin, and they steer using the fins on either side of the body (the pectoral fins) .
