Approximately 71% of the Earth is covered by water. When a mass is submerged beneath the water’s surface the volume of the mass is displaced. If all the fishes were removed from the ocean would the percentage of water covering the land decrease? The fishes, the fishes so many varieties, so many sizes and colours. We cannot eat all of them. Indeed many of the fishes try to eat other types of fishes. A small fish in a big pond or a big fish in small pond? A starfish is not a fish. A seahorse is not a horse. A killer whale is not a whale. Is a wobigong wrong? There is so much more to discover.
