Shellfish is a culinary term?

This article opens with the assertion that "Shellfish is a culinary term ..." Is this meant to exclude the use of the word in other contexts? Are there credible citations for this position? --Geronimo20 (talk) 09:58, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think the point is that it's not a monophyletic clade in general, though the narrow "regulatory" meaning appears to be monophyletic. Somewhat more generally, a word that means "crustaceans and bivalves" isn't of much value in biology except in the context of "things that are often eaten by the same predators," e.g. humans. 69.120.105.1 (talk) 14:53, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

What do shellfish eat? I cant seem to find it.

Types of shellfish

i wonna know the types of shellfish and fish —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.65.213.237 (talk) 15:04, 17 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, what exactly do you mean by that? The article clearly mentions lobsters, shrimp, oysters and mussels all being in the category of shellfish. By the way, it would be nice if you could give a more clear name to the section, so that we can see what you are talking about. --User:Crustaceanguy 18 May 2009

Shellstock

In my experience, many restaurants now use this word instead of shellfish, probably because they arent actually fish. I wonder if anyone else in the world has had this experience, and what reliable sources are saying? I may do some research. I came here after reading about lame edit wars, and this word popped into my mind as a potential edit war. I promise i dont do that sort of editing, but i think its an issue worthy of some discussion.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 15:47, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Allergies

Are people who are allergic to crustaceans also allergic to molluscs? If so, why? They're totally different phyla. Also, technically Leviticus only bans certain fish technically applying that to any non-fish is a matter of interpretation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.11.36.169 (talk) 14:25, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps this is an example of Cunningham's law being a bit slow, but to your point:

> technically Leviticus only bans certain fish technically applying that to any non-fish is a matter of interpretation

This is incorrect, the passages in Leviticus are quite explicit in referring to everything in the water.

"Heavy metal content"

The "Heavy metal content" section only covered arsenic, which is not a heavy metal. I've changed the section to "Toxic content" - I don't like it much but I can't think of anything better right now, so if anyone can come up with a better answer... -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 13:24, 22 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Echinoderms?

Echinoderms, and sea urchins in particular, don't have exoskeletons, which the page initially describes as one of the characteristics of all shellfish. The term "shellfish" seems to have a pretty varied usage; is it possible that some sources only apply the term to animals with exoskeletons while others include pretty much any marine invertebrate animal? 69.120.105.1 (talk) 14:53, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

How Do They Breathe?

I visited this article to learn how shellfish breathe -- do they have to surface, or can they breathe underwater? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.83.44.198 (talk) 19:49, 3 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Toxicity (mishandling)

Can someone who is a better author than I, copy/reword/reference the material seen (at 2 or 3 locations) in the Eutrophication article about shellfish toxicity into this article because the common conception is that if you have been poisoned by shellfish it was probably due to mishandling (ie, could have been left out of the freezer), when in reality, it was the algae environment that the shellfish was raised in which caused the problem.

Cephalopods?

The article refers to cephalopods as an example of shellfish. With the exception of the nautilus, however (and I guess the argonaut too if you want to get technical), cephalopods don't possess shells save for a vestigial inner piece that hardly counts for anything. Is there any citable source that classifies octopuses etc as shellfish? 98.190.3.230 (talk) 15:42, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
