Achmirocauda

**Achmirocauda lateraloculus**

Latest Mutations: Bigger, Move Eyes to Sides, Improve Sense of Smell

With eyes on the sides rather than above, increased and better sense of smell, this fish has evolved to become a better predator. It stalks the temperate waters of the Northern Hemisphere.

External Features: The body is fish-shaped with black melanin pigmentation in the skin, which is covered by cycloid scales and contains blue autogenic photophores all over. At the head is the mouth with sharp teeth, some olfactory receptors and on the sides of the head is a pair of eyes, in which the lens changes shape and it has no blind spot. There is a line of electroreceptors along the flank. It has pectoral fins, two semi-circle caudal fins at the back of the tail and a pair of spines at the tails' base.

Internal Features: In most of the body's cells is a small amount of piezolytes. Behind the tail spines are toxin glands, filling the spine with toxin. On each side of the throat are three pairs of gills, inside gill slits. The gills are connected to the blood vessels closed circulatory system, which contains hemoglobin - making it appear red. The system is made up of a single circuit pumped by a heart. There is also a network of muscles across the body. Along the dorsal side of the body is the cartilage vertebra that links the cartilage skull and jaw with the tail. Another line of features is the gastrointestinal tract, starting from the throat and leading to a stomach chamber, followed by intestines. It also includes a liver and kidneys and ends with the bladder and anus. It is connected to a one-chambered swim bladder. It has a pair of gonads. Two nerve cords, starting from the brain, run down the vertebra and branch out into a network of nerves across the whole body.

Reproduction: Sexual Reproduction. External Fertilisation. 1,000 eggs per spawn.

Castes/Phases: Sexes almost identical.
