jasonvilly Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 Its raining so thought I would try a new idea: A question is asked, and if you get the right answer then you get to ask the next question. There is only 1 rule! You must avoid the temptation to use google or any other type of search function. This is knowledge that you have, not that the internet has. Question 1: Most know that Anadramous fish are born in freshwater but spend most of their life in the saltwater (steelhead). What is the opposite of this? What type of fish is born in the salt but spends most of its life in freshwater. Example: American Eel. Remember NO google. 1 Quote
Muffin Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 Great idea but my head hurts already. I believe a Bull Shark has the ability to live in both Salt and Fresh Water environments although I am not sure about the birthing order or preference of water environments. Quote
Hawgstoppah Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 I'll openly admit, I had to google it. I learned something today. HINT: prefix is from latin word meaning "down" - downstream to spawn might be why it uses this prefix Quote
jasonvilly Posted June 19, 2013 Author Posted June 19, 2013 Sorry muffin not asking for a type of fish. anadramous = spawn fresh, live salt ?????????? = spawn salt, live in fresh Probalby my my fault for not being clear. Quote
Muffin Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 Haha no worries, just where my head went. I should have read the question a little closer. Quote
fishinglibin Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 I am stumped. Tempted, but have not googled. Quote
Tungsten Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 After sampling some smoked eel on fathers day my brother in law had mentioned that they were the opposite of salmon.I googled it and now I cant remember... Quote
jasonvilly Posted June 20, 2013 Author Posted June 20, 2013 Here is a second hint (well not much of hint) Couple it with Brians knowledge of latin and you might be able to figure it out. anadramous = spawn fresh, live salt _ _ _ _ dramous = spawn salt, live in fresh (4 letters) Quote
Muffin Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Haha I cheated so I can't in good conscience answer. Quote
DRock Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 easy..... CATADROMOUS FISH such as Salmon. QUESTION 2: Not a fish question but interesting to say the least. what does PNEUMONOULTRAMICROSCOPICSILICOVOLCANOCONIOSIS mean? Quote
Sean84 Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 easy..... CATADROMOUS FISH such as Salmon. QUESTION 2: Not a fish question but interesting to say the least. what does PNEUMONOULTRAMICROSCOPICSILICOVOLCANOCONIOSIS mean? Its something do with lungs and inflamation but theres to much latin in there for me to figure out the rest. Quote
ÜberFly Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Salmon are anadramous!! easy..... CATADROMOUS FISH such as Salmon. Quote
DRock Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Salmon are anadramous!! sorry i was confused at the sea run salmon, Quote
jasonvilly Posted June 20, 2013 Author Posted June 20, 2013 Correct!!!! Catadromous, but salmon are not as Uberfly mentioned. I think there only six species which are catadromous, and two of them I believe are eels. Next question (even though it isnt about fishing) PNEUMONO ( as mentioned before something with lungs) ULTRA (probably has to do with microscopic next, something very small perhaps?) MICROSCOPIC (very small) SILICOVOL (something to do with the silia or silia lining?) CANOCONIOSIS Anyone able to add the rest, go for it cuz thats all I got. Quote
drlevi Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 What species of fish has been discovered in nose creek that could have a negative effect on our rivers ie. Bow river etc. Quote
drlevi Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Sorry did answer question but messed up posting it all so disregard my posted question, sorry guys Quote
drlevi Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Well since im iyching to answer as i worked in safety field mainly with oilfield and asbestos. It is an obstruction of the lungs which more commonly called copd (chronic obstucted pulmonary disease) caused by inhaling small particals such as asbestos silca etc. Quote
Sean84 Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 What species of fish has been discovered in nose creek that could have a negative effect on our rivers ie. Bow river etc. We should stick with this question so we can keep this game on track. From your break down it would be the inhilation of tiny particles causing inflimation to the lining of the lung.

jasonvilly Posted June 20, 2013 Author Posted June 20, 2013 Since its my game lets go with Drlevi question: What species of fish has been discovered in nose creek that could have a negative effect on our rivers ie. Bow river etc. (I think there was a report done on this in the last week on CBC, but I will give someone else a chance to answer. There is a little trick to the question if you didnt see/read the article) Good question Drlevi Quote
bowbonehead Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 Crayfish, but are they a fish other then by name one would have to google or at least I would but I believe they are a anthropod/crustacian Quote
