[edit] primary means of locomotion
The text says "the pectoral fins are large and provide the snailfish with its primary means of locomotion." I´m not a fish expert, but I think that in this case and im many others, if not almost solely, the lateral motion whole "trunk" is the main mean of locomotion, and fins are stabilizers/rudders, with minor funtion in impulse. --Extremophile 18:43, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
