When Eve refilled Rimbaud's

SEA
SECRETS

@. What is meant by a "spiny.
rayed" and "soft-rayed" fish?
A. These terms are employed
to designate the two general bio
logical groups into which most
modern fishes fall. Such fish as
tarpon, herring, salmon, and carp
which have but one dorsal fin
lacking bony spines are consider
ed primitive types. These are call
ed soft-rayed fishes and are placed
near the beginning Of any biolo-
gical list of fishes. The spiny-ray-
ed fishes include more advanced
types such as mullet, perch, bass,
groupers, mackerels, etc. In these
forms there are usually two DOR
sal fins, the first bearing spines,
and spines are found on certain
other fins as well.
@. What is the large conch that
is eaten in the Florida Keys?
Howard Strunk, Fl. Walton, Fla.
A. These are the large PIN.
conchs belonging tc the Genus
StrombuS. The most common OF
these is the king conch, S. gigas,
which is staple article of food
in the Bahamas, where it is vast
ly more abundant than in the
Florida Keys. The portion of the
animal that is eaten is the large
muscular foot, which is rounded
and elongated, rather than flatten-
ed as in most other conchs. The
snowy white meat is tenderized
before being fried or made into
chowder. 1t is said to be excellent
when eaten raw.
@. How many gills do sharks
have?
Sharks have from S to Z pairs
of gillS, each of which opens to
the exterior by means of a separ-
ate gill cleft. In this way sharks
differ from the true bony fishes,
in which the gills are covered by
a movable bony operculum with
only a single opening to the ex-
terror. Most sharks have five
separate gill clefts on each side,
but few of the more primitive
forms may have 6 or even Z.
Q. What does U. S. S. mean
when placed before tie name of
ship?
A. U. S. S. preceding the names
of vessels are the abbreviation of
United States Ship, and signify that
the particular ship is member
of the United States Navy. An err
roneous but, common belief is that
the second $50 stands for Steam
ship" or Steamer" These letters,
were used, however, before the
days of steam.propelled vessels.
S. s., the official abbreviation for
steamship" precedes the names
of vessels in the United States
Merchant marine. H. M. S. mean
ing His Tor Herr Majesty's Ship"
precedes the names of vessels in
the British Service.
|. Q. Is the ribbonfish related to
the barracuda?
A. No. The ribbonfish (also
known as cutlass fish or scabbard
fish is a peculiar eel-like fish dis
family related to the mackerals.
The body is silvery. flattened, and
the tail tapers to a threadlike
point. Although this fish, Trichiu-
rus lepturus, has head and teeth
specifically resembling a barra-
cuda, the two are in no way re-
lated. The ribbonfish reaches a
length of S feet and feeds on other
fishes, but is harmless to man.
