Sea lampreys are primitive fish native to the Atlantic Ocean.... Lacking jaws, their round mouths form a sucking disk filled with sharp, horn-shaped teeth that surround a rasping tongue. Unlike most fish, a lamprey's body has cartilage but no bones, scale less skin, no paired fins, no lateral line, and no swim bladder.... They attach to fish with their suction mouth and teeth, and use their tongue to rasp through a fish's scales and skin so they can feed on its blood and body fluids. 3, record 2, English, - lamprey

Poisson osseux des eaux douces du Sud asiatique. On l'appelle usuellement archer à cause de l'adresse avec laquelle il lance des gouttes d'eau avec la bouche sur les insectes courant parmi les plantes des rivages, pour les faire tomber à l'eau et les gober. L'espèce commune est appelée pour cette raison toxotes jaculator. 1, record 13, French, - toxote

Venomous cone snails use a highly developed projectile apparatus to deliver their cocktail of toxic conotoxins into their prey. In fish-eating species such as Conus magus the cone detects the presence of the fish using chemosensors in its siphon and when close enough extends its proboscis and fires a hollow harpoon-like tooth containing venom into the fish. This immobilizes the fish and enables the cone snail to wind it into its mouth via an attached filament. The fish is then digested. 1, record 19, English, - conotoxin
