| Venus Among the Fishes | comment |
Venus Among the Fishes is a 1995 children's book by Elizabeth Hall and Scott O'Dell. It concerns a herd of Atlantic white-sided dolphins whose numbers are dwindling due to predation from a group of orcas. Two dolphin siblings, Coral and Snapper, set out from their home in Glacier Strait. Their goals are to find their brother Silver, who set out on his own long ago and might be able to help fend off the orcas, and to find a new place for the herd to live. | |

Starfish Language | |
| Venus Among the Fishes / int_115b9907 | comment |
Starfish Language: The dolphins have a handful of nouns, verbs, adjectives, and interjections, but they communicate mostly through sound pictures, in which a dolphin uses sonar to recreate an image. They rarely speak in sentences and don't seem to have much grammar. | |

Searching for the Lost Relative | |
| Venus Among the Fishes / int_3855ceed | comment |
Searching for the Lost Relative: Silver went off in search of adventure three years ago and hasn't been seen since. He was the quickest and cleverest of the dolphins, and his parents hope that if Coral and Snapper find him, he'll be able to help everyone get to safety. Coral eventually finds Silver in captivity in a dolphin show. He's happy with his mate Spray and his son Flasher and has no desire to leave. | |

Sapient Eat Sapient | |
| Venus Among the Fishes / int_56ade6eb | comment |
Sapient Eat Sapient: Orcas have no qualms about attacking dolphins, even though their languages are partly mutually intelligible. They also eat baby whales, even though whales are also sapient and can create sound pictures. | |

Language Barrier | |
| Venus Among the Fishes / int_a56e3cba | comment |
Language Barrier: An interspecies version. Spray swallows a metal ball that an audience member threw into the tank. It gets lodged at the entrance to her first stomach. The other dolphins whistle in their loudest, deepest voices to get the attention of the humans, and Silver jerks his head at Spray, but the trainer thinks Silver and Spray are just having a lovers' spat. By the time the humans finally figure out that there's something wrong with Spray, it's too late to save her. | |

| Venus Among the Fishes / int_c189bd85 | comment |
Friendly, Playful Dolphin: Coral hates and fears humans at first, but after she's captured, she learns to like and trust them. She enjoys doing tricks for an audience and forms a close bond with one of her trainers, Mark. | |

Keep Away | |
| Venus Among the Fishes / int_d83454f8 | comment |
Keep Away: Coral, Snapper, and their new friend Sea Fan the spinner dolphin play Keep-away with a piece of kelp. Eventually Coral lets Snapper grab the kelp, then plays tug-of-war with it. | |

| Venus Among the Fishes / int_e88d37c3 | comment |
Too Unhappy to Be Hungry: After the orca White Fang is captured by humans and put in a tank, he's so lonely, bored, and miserable that he loses his appetite and eats only a few fish a day. He gets thinner and thinner until Mark cuts the fence of his enclosure, releasing him into the ocean. | |
