Amazon`s Dangerous Animals 
Africa's Strangest Monsters 
North America`s Monsters | Extreme angler Jeremy Wade uncovers the world's largest, strangest and most dangerous fish in Season 3 of River Monsters, premiering Sunday, April 10, 2011. CANDIRU CATFISH Candiru asu Maximum Length: Up to 6 inches The Amazon's Most Feared Fish: The Candiru is a terrifying fish, even when stacked up against its fellow river monsters of the Amazon. But this parasitic freshwater catfish does not instill fear by way of its monstrous size. On the contrary, it's small, eel-like and so translucent that it can be nearly impossible to spot in the water, which makes it even more terrifying. Some claim this fish is the most feared in the entire Amazon region, and the fear stems from the fact that it has a knack for finding open orifices and working its way inside. Once inside another organism, the Candiru feeds on its host's blood, becoming increasingly swollen. The Candiru is the star of an urban legend — which turns out to be true — of a man who was urinating in the Amazon River when a 6-inch Candiru swam up his urine stream into his penis. The fish remained there for days, until a surgeon was able to remove it. The Most Horrific Candiru: Perhaps the most horrifying Candiru species of all is the Candiru asu. This small catfish is a voracious parasite. It uses its circular mouth and sharp teeth to bite flesh and then enter organisms, leaving behind a wound that looks uncannily like a bullet hole. The Candiru asu proceeds to feed on the organs, literally eating its victim from inside. Human corpses have been discovered in the Amazon filled with more than 100 of these river monsters. Scientists and coroners have determined that the victims may have even been alive and simply incapacitated when the Candiru asu struck. In Jeremy Wade's Words: "The candiru usually targets a big fish as its host, drinking blood from its gills, but occasionally they make mistakes. This has resulted in one of the most infamous legends to emerge from the Amazon: a man urinating in the river who has a fish swim up his penis." Jeremy ranked the candiru catfish #2 in our Top 10 Most Dangerous River Monsters countdown. |
There are many great videos that affect the aquaculture world on You Tube Below are some shows that are of interests to aquarists
 
Video Description On March 24, 1989, the supertanker Exxon Valdez ran aground in the pristine waters of Alaska's Prince William Sound, spilling 11 million gallons of crude oil. In this Cousteau Society Special Report, Jean-Michel Cousteau, son of Jacques Cousteau, takes us on a voyage to investigate first-hand the devastating impact of the U.S.'s largest oil spill. Amid the majestic mountains and ice floes of this serene setting, the leaking oil spreads like a virus staining and often killing everything it encounters. Harbor seals, sea otters, and bald eagles fall victim to the tragic accident. The Cousteau team questions the lack of precautions, laments the slow clean-up response, and outlines preventive measures so such a disaster may never happen again. Outstanding educational viewing for the entire family.  | Jacques Cousteau on What's My Line Jacques testing new diving equipment in June 1942 on a small beach on the French Riviera.
