@ Atsme:@ Tryptofish:@ Epipelagic: To my Favourite Fishy Friends and others. I've just created this article for a word I had not heard up until a week ago! I'd like to take it to DYK in a couple of days, so if you have any comments, they would be much appreciated. Cheers. DrChrissy (talk) 18:40, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
I'm putting a link here, to Template:Did you know nominations/Kype (anatomy), where another editor has raised concerns about close paraphrasing. I have not checked for myself and I am making no claims one way or another, but I simply want to provide a convenient link for editors, until the discussion is resolved. -- Tryptofish ( talk) 21:06, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
The article says right now, Others have suggested it has no function, and observed the kype seems to prevent the use of the breeding teeth which sometimes develop alongside the kype. These fish would beg to differ. I doubt the aggressor has the bite force necessary to cause all that much damage, but, perhaps like human males, winning a fight does not mean bringing the opponent to within an inch of death, but showing that you *could* get there if you really went at it.
I would like to see if we could get a picture of male salmon fighting each other ... or a male attacking a female, as that has also been seen in the wild ... onto the page just so long as we can either find one of free use or acquire permission from one of the photographers. — Soap — 00:06, 23 November 2017 (UTC)
