John dory, st pierre or peter's fish, refers to fish of the genus zeus, especially zeus faber, of widespread distribution. it is an edible demersal coastal marine fish with a laterally compressed olive-yellow body which has a large dark spot, and long spines on the dorsal fin. its large eyes at the front of the head provide it with binocular vision and depth perception, which are important for predators. the john dory's eye spot on the side of its body also confuses prey, which are scooped up in its big mouth.in new zealand, māori know it as kuparu, and on the east coast of the north island, they gave some to captain james cook on his first voyage to new zealand in 1769. several casks of them were pickled.

Magpie goose

The magpie goose (anseranas semipalmata) is the sole living representative species of the family anseranatidae. this common waterbird is found in northern australia and southern new guinea. as the species is prone to wandering, especially when not breeding, it is sometimes recorded outside its core range. the species was once also widespread in southern australia, but disappeared from there largely due to the drainage of the wetlands where the birds once bred. due to their importance to aboriginal people as a seasonal food source, as subjects of recreational hunting, and as a tourist attraction, their expansive and stable presence in northern australia has been "ensured protective management".

Water buffalo

The water buffalo (bubalus bubalis), also called the domestic water buffalo or asian water buffalo, is a large bovid originating in the indian subcontinent and southeast asia. today, it is also found in europe, australia, north america, south america and some african countries. two extant types of water buffalo are recognized, based on morphological and behavioural criteria: the river buffalo of the indian subcontinent and further west to the balkans, egypt and italy and the swamp buffalo, found from assam in the west through southeast asia to the yangtze valley of china in the east.the wild water buffalo (bubalus arnee) most likely represents the ancestor of the domestic water buffalo. results of a phylogenetic study indicate that the river-type water buffalo probably originated in western india and was domesticated about 6,300 years ago, whereas the swamp-type originated independently from mainland southeast asia and was domesticated about 3,000 to 7,000 years ago. the river buffalo dispersed west as far as egypt, the balkans, and italy; while swamp buffalo dispersed to the rest of southeast asia and up to the yangtze river valley.water buffaloes were traded from the indus valley civilisation to mesopotamia, in modern iraq, 2500 bc by the meluhhas. the seal of a scribe employed by an akkadian king shows the sacrifice of water buffaloes.at least 130 million water buffaloes exist, and more people depend on them than on any other domestic animal. they are especially suitable for tilling rice fields, and their milk is richer in fat and protein than that of dairy cattle. a large feral population became established in northern australia in the late 19th century, and there are smaller feral herds in papua new guinea, tunisia and northeastern argentina. feral herds are also present in new britain, new ireland, irian jaya, colombia, guyana, suriname, brazil, and uruguay.

Yellowfin tuna

The yellowfin tuna (thunnus albacares) is a species of tuna found in pelagic waters of tropical and subtropical oceans worldwide. yellowfin is often marketed as ahi, from the hawaiian ʻahi, a name also used there for the closely related bigeye tuna. the species name, albacares ("white meat") can also lead to confusion: in english, the albacore (thunnus alalunga) is a different species, while yellowfin is officially designated albacore in french and referred to as albacora by portuguese fishermen.
