Today I discovered an area of the fish brain that will cause the corresponding fish body to flop when pinched with forceps. It was an accidental and somewhat surprising discovery. I was cutting into a brain case, harvesting an otolith, when I accidentally pinched this part. The dead fish jumped out of my hand! You should have seen my face. It was a scary moment…akin to the time when I thought that a fish was trying to bite my finger off. Can’t trust the oily little beasts…
