Species Overview
Japanese Fugu
The Japanese pufferfish, or fugu, contains tetrodotoxin, a poison 1,200 times more deadly than cyanide. Despite this, it is a prized delicacy in Japan, where specially licensed chefs prepare it as sashimi, hot pot, and grilled dishes.
Rainbow Trout
The rainbow trout is native to cold-water tributaries of the Pacific Ocean in Asia and North America. Widely introduced worldwide, it is prized by anglers for its acrobatic leaps and beautiful coloration.
