The Year of the Dog is coming. What are the creatures related to dogs in the sea? The first thing that comes to mind is "sea dogs," but sea dogs are not fish, they are marine mammals, and they have been important economic creatures in the past. What is a real pike?

Is the shark a dog fish?

In the past, Taiwan's fishing industry was greatly influenced by Japan. In Japanese, there was no fish named after dogs, and in Chinese, there was no fish named after dogs. On the contrary, there were many fish called "dogs" in English. The most common of these are tiny Dog sharks, known as shark sticks, which are common along the coast and used to be food fish familiar to the West. In addition, there are Bowfish in the river that look similar to our "", also known as "dog fish".

The Year of the Dog has great cooperation power.

All of these fish with the name "dog" have some common characteristics: low-grade carnivorous creatures, large numbers, clustering, and joint action. They are neither the largest nor the strongest, but through collective action they become the dominant species in evolution.

So the biggest inspiration of the Year of the Dog is to be positive and cooperative. What do you think?
