This video seem to show a fried Pisces dither around like it ’s still somehow alive . The picture get viral on Weibo , after being recorded in Hengyang , Hunan Province , in southerly China .
As much as it ’s distress to watch out , and possibly one of the least appetising things you ’ll ever see , there is one matter to be grateful for : The Pisces is definitely not active . Keep it in mind as you watch that the fish is n’t feeling any pain in the neck .
So what ’s happening ?
Well , in other viral videosthat have done the rung of late , the movement come in from a chemic reaction that stimulates the fish ’s muscle tissues .
For some time after death , muscular tissue motor neurons within these tissue still have some membrane potential . The fish ’s brains are very much bushed , but most of their tissue is very much alive . The muscles in the fish containadenosine triphosphate , the principal beginning of energy for muscle contractions .
" Most of the tissue paper … is actually still alive , " a chemistry professor at the University of Virginia explained toDiscovery News . " Cell metabolites are nearly entire , membrane emf or potential that exist in spunk cellular telephone are probably still close to intact . "
" Even though the brain function is missing , the tissues will still respond to stimulant . "
tot up salt to the Pisces ( in the form of mesa saltiness or soy sauce ) can trigger muscle spasms in very recently deceased Pisces and cephalopods . The salt gets absorbed and changes the potential across nerve cell membranes , triggering the ( somewhat violent ) contractions of the muscle you see in most viral video .
However …
In this TV , the Pisces ’s physique is likely falsify . Once it ’s been cooked , the muscle wo n’t constrict like this in reception to salt , no matter how sweet it is . It ’s possible the heating system is contracting the spine or build in some way ( the way fish or substance will curl when you put it into a spicy pan ) .
Or , it ’s possible the Pisces is n’t as falsify on the side we do n’t see . The Pisces is still dead , and has just been fried on one side . The other side is n’t , and they ’re using the salt trick to make it squeeze from that side .
Or it ’s potential the whole thing is a hoax , being pull off with pieces of thread . Which one do you call back ? Any other explanation ?
