Fishy Odour
The only fish with more halitosis than a snapper is a John Dory, according to Dr. R. M. Cassie, senior lecturer in zoology at the University of Auckland. He made this comment in a lecture to members of the Auckland Institute and Museum on the life and history of the snapper. Dr. Cassie said that many people avoided eating dogfish because of its eating habits. But the dogfish was a far more selective feeder than the snapper, which would happily eat garbage if nothing else was available.
