Hi Cwmhiraeth, I'll start to look at these. What an interesting creature Carapus acus is! One early comment in the fish article you bring up "Pearlfishes" in the "Ecology" sction without first introducing them, I presume Carapus acus is a pearlfish, but this is not stated - Dumelow (talk) 09:42, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Another quick question, "holothurion" is used in the "Ecology" section of Parastichopus regalis but is not defined or linked, what does this mean? - Dumelow (talk) 09:45, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Dumelow: Thanks, I have dealt with these points. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:08, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Articles created 8 and 11 April; both exceed minimum length; both are well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; I didn't find any issues with overly close paraphrasing from the accessible sources; hook fact is interesting, mentioned in the article and checks out to the source cited (which, by my rudimentary French, says it leaves to feed and is "essentially nocturnal"); two QPQs have been carried out - Dumelow (talk) 11:38, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
