Fishing is the activity of catching fish. It is an ancient practice dating back at least 40,000 years. In the past fishing was done for the means of providing food for families who lived near the water. However, as the human race grew bigger and bigger, the scale of fishing have changed from simple fisherman to a commercial fishing.
Today, besides commercial fishing, people do fish for pleasure, recreational, and sport.
Fish of The Week: Chucho de Rio/ River Dog/Short-Tailed River Stingray(Potamotrygon Brachyura)  This stingray is known as a killer. It lives in fresh water rivers in South America, and is known as a silent assassin. This ray has evolved so that it can only live in fresh water. This ray can be easily 200 pounds without a tail, guts taken out, dehydrated,andhaving its blood dripping out. The chucho de rio is very deadly due to its "mini-teeth" over its body, its short, club-like tail, and the barbs and venom on its tail. Unlike most stingray, the tail is club-like, instead of long and thin. |
