This podcast is brought to you by the crocodile icefish, found in the freezing cold waters of the Southern Ocean around Antarctica. Water around this area reaches temperatures below freezing and the Icefish survive in this climate thanks to their colorless blood which lacks hemoglobin. They are the only known vertebrates to lack this key protein. They are one of the largest consumers of patagonia outdoor clothing, donning their fleeces and ski jackets in an attempt to stay as warm as possible. Cheers to you, crocodile icefish. May you stay warm forever in our hearts.

In this episode, "Species Spotlight: Siamese Fighting Fish", the crew breaks down the wild world of bettafish. The Siamese Fighting fish have a myriad of evolutionary adaptations and behaviors which help them survive in tough environments. We learn about how bettas became introduced into the hobby and that they have been cared by humans for over 1000 years! Lastly, we learn about the research implications of using bettas as a model organism and some of the recent studies using them.
This podcast is brought to you by the pirate perch. This swashbuckling specimen makes its home in Eastern and Central North America. They are one of the only fish known to exhibit chemical camouflage, emitting a chemical that masks their scent, hiding them from potential prey items. Oddly, they also have an anus that slowly migrates toward from their tails to their chins as they age. Surprisingly, these perch have little to do with actual pirates. Maybe pirates hiding amongst the fog and capturing unwitting ships could be analogous to the perch’s chemical camouflage and eating of prey. But who really knows. Your guess is as good as mine! There. We’ve solved it! Cheers to you, pirate perch!

On today’s menu, "Laboratory Fish Nutrition," the crew discusses the intricacies of fish nutrition. They explain the benefits of standardizing feeding and why we use animal models in research. Amber breaks down the nutrient classifications of fish feeds followed by the benefits and downsides of live feeds. We discuss both macro- and micronutrients, and why both are important to fish. Lastly, the crew talk about the future hopes for fish feed which will help further standardize our research outcomes.
This podcast is brought to you by the sea robin. These ocean bottom dwelling fish have long, fan shaped pectoral fins that resemble wings, which is how they got their name. And yet these aren't their only attributes that resemble other animals. They have bony armor like an armadillo and when caught, they croak like a frog using their swim bladders. Did I mention how ugly they are? Maybe this is why they are nocturnal, so they don't have to catch themselves in a mirror. Anyways, cheers to you, sea armadillofrogrobin.

In this week’s episode, "Fish and the Agricultural Research Service," the crew interviews two fish biologists from the Agricultural Research Service, Dr. Bart Green and Dr. Brian Ott. Their jobs are to optimize the culturing of fish for human use for food fish and for raising bait. They conduct many research studies to accomplish this, which we chat about! They primarily focus on certain fish species including hybrid striped bass, tilapia and channel catfish. They also discuss their career trajectories and explain some of the amazing technologies employed in their field. Some of the ways they deal with oxygen and nitrogen levels are especially interesting!
This podcast is brought to you by the goldfish. Despite being named after a precious metal, most of these fish are not treated at all as prize precious possessions. Oftentimes they end up as carnival prizes or party favors, destined for doom at the hands of an inquisitive child. But sometimes, goldfish are the starter pet which brings about a life-long love of fish for someone. And for that, we thank you. Cheers to the goldfish, and remember, never release them into the wild.

This podcast is brought to you by the bluestreak cleaner wrasse, the janitor/dentist/parasitologist of the sea. These pretty little specimens spend their days removing parasites from the gills, teeth and skin of many types of large fish. And this task can be daunting! The brave little wrasse will willingly enter the giant maw of a grouper or the toothy gape of a moray eel. And yet these large predators have respect for what the cleaner wrasse does and do not consume them. After all, if you don’t have fingers or floss, how else can you get things out from between your teeth? Cheers to you, bluestreak cleaner wrasse and thank you for making the ocean a cleaner place to live.

This podcast is brought to you by the Lookdown fish, the most judgmental fish in the sea. These fish are constantly looking down on others, judging them on their fishy business. If anyone is to be judged it should be Carl Linnaeus who named them in 1758. Couldn’t have thought of a more original name Carl? We can only be glad he didn't name more fish this way or we’d be studying species like the swimfish, or the eatfish, or the famed breaths-through-gillsfish. Cheers to you anyways, Lookdown fish, but not to you Carl.

This podcast is brought to you by the bristlemouth fish. The bristlemouth is the most abundant fish in the entire ocean. It is estimated that there are up to a quadrillion individuals on earth, or one million billions. If there is any fish in the sea that has issues with individuality, it's these fish. Most are bioluminescent, which would normally seem special, but when one quadrillion of your cousins can do the same thing, are you really that special? Cheers to you, bristlemouth fish and your truly prolific nature.

This podcast is brought to you by the porcupine puffer. Porcupine puffers are known for their pointy spikes and ability to inflate themselves. They are also famously known as the loneliest fish species because they are incapable of hugging anyone. So the next time you see a porcupine puffer, sacrifice yourself and hug one today.
