Think positive! Be a coela-CAN!

...But I can’t carry anything else! Should I swap it with something?

nice meme, but i don’t remember asking bro Sea bass

lmaoo same

A man of culture I see

I remember trying for weeks to catch one in Monster Hunter World. One shows up, Fulgur Anjanath decides to annoy me, I chase him off, and the fish took off. Took another couple of weeks for it to pop up again. 😑

Same! They kept me fed in my early days.

Running around with a spino in water just swiping at them was fun Until I got bored of ark sadly

I think it depends on context. Like in a scientific setting and with reference to different species of fishes, then fishes is the way to go. But if it's in general, fish is still fish in plural. In conversation though, just say whatever your mind thinks first. It doesn't really matter haha. Nevertheless, the word "fishes" does exist.

A living language changes. A word is only valid if majority of people agree on it, same goes for it's meaning. So fishes or school of fish are valid depending on whom youre speaking with.

Fish is paraphyletic. That's the easiest way to put it

This age old question of whether you "can" say something like fishes in stead of fish is no more than academic self-indulgence and more often than not proclaimed by people that know close to nothing of how languages work. The language belongs to and was invented by what ever people that speaks it. If a native speaker of what ever language uses the plural fishes in stead of fish then fishes it is for that person. There is nothing intrinsically or functionally wrong with that. Within linguistics pertaining to the usage of the language there is only one true mistake that can be made and that's the breakage of the linguistic code belonging to that language. If one happens to say horses when meaning fish(es) then an actual mistake has been made since it leads to a break in communication. That's an actual linguistic mistake. Some academics don't agree with this notion but that is a case of authority. Not of actual linguistics. Linguistics is the study of how (native) speakers speak and use their language. Not the act of telling people how they "should" speak. In Old English there is only one plural of the word fish in all senses. It's fishes (fiscas), not fish (fisc=singular). That doesn't mean that the modern alternative plural fish is wrong. It simply means that what ever plural native speakers use for fish is the right one even though it may vary. Despite what ever made up standards might imply. In modern scientific use (which doesn't necessarily coinside with actual native speaker use): many fish = many individuals of fish many fishes = many species of fish So if you have a fish tank containing five fish of bass and five fish of pike then the tank contains ten fish as well as two fishes... scientificly speaking. How you as a native speaker choose to express that is ultimately up to you.

Crazy, I learned in English that different types of fish are called fishes

30stu30 Ngl this is the best comment I’ve every seen 😂

@@l3m0n41 the game has 15 million people around the world knowing it now.

didn't the game come out in 2001? That means players have known about this fish for almost 20 years, and you're now putting this comment on here?

Jack Son ...?

I caught three oarfish and a coelacanth in one day in animal crossing new horizons I was like HOLY FUCKING SHIT NO WAY!!!!!

@@leonidas7692 not really tasty since they taste like oil.

@@leonidas7692 people that did taste them they said that it doesn't taste good

@@leonidas7692you wouldn’t wanna eat it-

There are many such specimens.

These fish have been around for 400 million years and no evolution occurred.

It truly is a feeling of enlightenment. But do not stop. Go to your book and look up every class of animal and every thing that makes it unique, including tissue, organs and bones

very very very inlikely you gonna see any of those.

@@themplar You are probably right Bro, our ancestors probably fished the Rhizodont to extinction... if they tasted good, then chances are they are extinct...but I wish I do see one alive soon...

@@muthulingamramiah5546 I am not really familiar with the last two. But considering fresh water fishies, its unlikely they kept around somewhere. As for megalodon or mosasaurus, chances are practicly nihil.

RIGHT? This fish is so incredibly interesting. Glad to see there are others like me.

What about fishies?

because people and english lingo are too stupid and saying fish would make my brain wander as if i just meant single fish and when i really meant many. the same thing goes to the plural word "you" by saying "you people", if it were geman, this wouldnt happen, because single you and many you have different words.

Yes

It’s not a relicanth it’s a coelacanth

@@DinoDavid10 relicanth is a pokemon name

Beyblade Burst Evolution 2: Titan relicanth is obviously based off of a coelacanth.

Same

I think it is valid word for marine biology / zoology.

Fishes - refers to a group of different fish with different scientific name

@@alvianekka80 yesss

Sekar Widiasih they are not extinct though there endangered

moyangnya kerapu itu. anyway, indeed it's a beautiful fish!!

it's still alive

They can live for around 60 years or so

They survived 4 different mass extinction events, they'll long outlive humanity

Tastes like candle wax

i heard it's really oily and tastes terrible

dont you hear they are critically endangered, this is the reason people should be extinct

TheAlpineOwl especially considering that they were originally thought to have died out with the dinosaurs

i had it as "ko-eh-la-kenth"

Marjorie Courtenay-Latimer deserves credit for recognizing that, among the catch of the day, that fish merited particularly close examination. Courtenay-Latimer, the curator of a museum in the port town of East London (northeast of Cape Town), was a friend of Captain Hendrick Goosen, of the trawler Nerine, who regularly invited her to check out the boat’s catch for any unusual specimens, upon returning to port. She was called to meet the boat on 22 Dec. 1938. Looking over the pile of fish on the deck of the Nerine, what would eventually be identified as a coelacanth caught her eye, and she knew it must be something special. So, the fisherman deserves our gratitude for having been generously helpful in accommodating scientific research. But in any meaningful sense of the word, Courtenay-Latimer •did• discover the coelacanth. Had she not picked out that specimen for closer study, the fisherman wouldn’t have written a scholarly monograph on it; he would’ve just sold it for fish sticks.

@@ColumbiaB Sounds like "Taking Credit" to me.

@@rabbiama2940 - Courtenay-Latimer was •given• credit, credit that she richly deserved.

@@ColumbiaB Mhm, he did the work but hadn't recognized his find, she recognized it, and thank god she did otherwise that would be someone's supper.

lizardgod 101 the game must have come first...

It is!

It is not edible, but in the game we hunt for meat

It’s is

Because thats not how evolution works. there is no ladder. No goal. Its very possible that a group of a species keeps living on while other groups evolve in a different direction. Your comment is as bad as "then why are there still monkeys". We share a common ancestor with these fish, those monkeys and most recent with chimpansees.

Me

Mhm.

There's just as blind guy walking around the bottom of the ocean wondering if there's life up there

Mhm, I forget where I learned about this fish but I knew of it long before I had played Ark, let alone Pokemon.

under sootopolis, keep serching em, and you can trigger the regi trio

To answer your question, the Coelacanth is considered the evolutionary "missing link" between fish and humans. Living in deep water off the coast of East Africa and in an apparent protected environment (e.g. caves/caverns), the Coelacanth escaped the destruction caused by the asteroid that struck the Western Hemisphere (Gulf of Mexico region) 65 million years ago that wiped out the dinosaurs on Earth. Literally "left behind" by the complete asteroid destruction, the small concentration of Coelacanths continued to live without evolving and the first living specimen was discovered off Madagascar in the 1930's.

@@johnwoa yeah but I thought evolution is triggered due to the environment and I don't think that earth didnt change . Maybe it couldve had evolved some extra features within 65 million long years. Is it in it's final form that it didn't need to evolve more ?

Some species dont have to evolve to because they're already endowed with necessary attributes to survive future environmental challenges. That fish could climb out of the water inside the pockets of deep sea caves like in the last Godzilla film were the guy detonated the nuke. That fish could access more oxygen in those cave pockets while other species died from the release of harmful gaseous vapors of the impact of giant objects crashing into earth that theoretically killed dinosaurs

Most Apex Predators today are the same from prehistoric times or just smaller like sharks, crocodiles and bears

@@phoenicianathletix2866 ok . But is there a fossil found that is in it's evolving phase .. like in butterflies they turn into a cocoon but if you examine inside you can actually see the new body parts growing out of the caterpillar. In mammals it was explained that it will took houndred thousand years but the the fossil i only know are the ape like humans descovered in africa.. could you pls pin me some link about these topic just for educational purposes..
