SEA
SECRETS
o. How Is amhergris produced?

@. How is ambergris produced?
A. This is solid, fatty waxlike
substance that is produced at times
in the intestines of the sperm
whale, Physeter catodon. No other
whale, so far as is known, oro-
duces ambergris, which is be-
lieved to be caused in some way
by the horny, indigestible beaks
| of cuttlefish and squid on which
this particular whale feeds. The
beaks are often found imbedded in
the ambergris, which is eventually
voided by the whale, or occasional
ly taken from the intestines Of
captured whales. Ambergris is val
liable because of its property of
''fixing'' the odors of perfumes so
that the scent will linger for some
time after the perfume is applied
to a surface.
@. How can I tell when a mar
ket fish is fresh?
Mrs. w. A. Thompson, Miami,
Fla.
A. A fresh market fish may be
told by the red color of its gills,
clear eyes, firm flesh, and body
reasonably free from slime. As a
market fish ages, the gills turn
pinkiSh, brownish, and finally gray
the eyes become cloudy and the
flesh loses its elasticity, so that
an indentaticn made by the finger
will tend to remain for a time.
Also, the body may tend to become
Shiny. odor is a good indicator,
as a fresh fish will have faint
"seashore" smell, while in a stale
fish this becomes disagreeable, and
finally foul. Knowing how to choose
a fresh fish is highly important in
shopping for seafoods.
@. Is it true that it is easier
to swim in deep water than in
shallow water?
A. The popular but erroneous
belief that deep water has a great
er tendency to ''buoy up" sur
face swimmer than does shallow
water has no scientific foundation
whatever. Whether a body of water,
fresh or salt, is ten feet deep or
a thousand feet deep, a floating
person, boat, or other objects will
only displace its own weight In the
water, which means that it would
float equally well in either case.
It is true that water at great
depths has a slightly greater den-
sity because of the pressure, but
this has no effect upon the sur
face water.
@. Is the minnow a definite
species of fish?
A. This term is used somewhat
loosely and can be applied to
practically any small species of
fish, but in America the term is
most correctly applied to various
small members of the carp family,
the Cyprinidae. In Florida and
other southern states the term
minnow or top minnow is given
to small fishes of the Family Poe
ciliidae, which includes the mos
quito fish (Gambusia), and the
sailfin molly (Mollinesia).
@. Does the sea catfish sting
with its fin spines?
A. Most fishermen are aware
that the common marine catfishes
belonging to the Genera Bagre
and Galeichthys) are provided with
heavy serrated (barbed) spines on
the dorsal and pectoral fins, with
which they are capable of inflict-
ing painful wounds If carelessly
handled. Many freshwater catfish.
es and some Pacific marine forms
are provided with poison glands
as well, and some of these cat
@7hes have been known to inflict
serious wounds accompanied
