Since then, the Fred Bear Museum was displayed at the headquarters store of Bass Pro Shops in Springfield, Missouri. Exhibits included the story of Fred Bear and bowhunting history, life-size animal mounts, bowhunting artifacts, some of his trophies and memorabilia, and historical bows and arrows used or built by Fred Bear and his company.

Argulus foliaceus. Argulus foliaceus, also known as the common fish louse, is a species of fish lice in the family Argulidae. [1] It is "the most common and widespread native argulid in the Palaearctic" [2] and "one of the most widespread crustacean ectoparasites of freshwater fish in the world", considering its distribution and range of hosts.

Within cartilaginous fish, approximately 80% of the sharks, rays, and skates families survived the extinction event, [114] and more than 90% of teleost fish (bony fish) families survived. [115] There is evidence of a mass kill of bony fishes at a fossil site immediately above the K–T boundary layer on Seymour Island near Antarctica ...
Some fish are hermaphrodites, having both testes and ovaries either at different phases in their life cycle or, as in hamlets, have them simultaneously. Over 97% of all known fish are oviparous, [74] that is, the eggs develop outside the mother's body. Examples of oviparous fish include salmon, goldfish, cichlids, tuna, and eels.
Life cycle and pathology [ edit ] Myxozoans are endoparasitic animals exhibiting complex life cycles that, in most of the documented cases, involve an intermediate host , usually a fish, but in rare cases amphibians, [ 7 ] reptiles, [ 7 ] birds, [ 8 ] and mammals; [ 9 ] [ 10 ] and a definitive host, usually an annelid or an ectoproct .

Fish that spend part of their life cycle in salt water, like salmon, can also be a problem. A study in Seattle, Washington showed that 100% of wild salmon had roundworm larvae capable of infecting people. In the same study farm-raised salmon did not have any roundworm larvae. [69]
Simplified scheme of the life cycle of the fish parasite Ichthyophthirius multifiliis The life cycle of the parasite is direct, which means that no intermediate hosts are included in transmission. It includes a trophont stage residing in the fish surface (gill epithelia, skin and fin epidermis).
