Great... sushi this weekend, too. Good thing we aren't in Japan.

Sure they do. Up front, inside. Here's a diagram of the location of shark testicles and ovaries:

Quite fascinating, in fact, how the fact that testicles were originally farther forward, inside the body, is responsible for inguinal hernias in humans, as well as the roundabout routing of the vas deferens (sperm duct). But that's a whole other topic... :blahblah:

Nice cross sections! I guess it's one of those things that never really comes up in most conversations. Unless you're a fisherman? Or a Japanese consumer of fish testicles?

Can you imagine over coffee a conversation that goes something like this?
"Man, I caught a fish the other day that had the BIGGEST BALLS ever!",
"What? I didn't know that fish had testicles"
"No man, I mean he was a fighter! Fought like a real champ even after I got him onto the boat", but fish DO have testicles! In fact, testicles in humans were originally farther forward, inside the body, and this is responsible for inguinal hernias in humans, as well as the roundabout routing of the vas deferens (sperm duct).

I learn something new every time I visit Bogley!
Should I tell my son that his inguinal hernia was due to the fact that he had a recessive testicle? I wonder if he knows!?

he had a recessive testicle?
Cryptorchidism is the verbiage :mrgreen:

I've been thinking of a good One Liner response to this story all day.

Are just the testicles poison or the whole fish?



Guess that'll teach you to keep the balls away from the lips...
