** As stated in YouWontLikeHowITaste below, Marlin tries to dissuade the whale from eating him and Dory by holding one of its taste buds, to prove he doesn't taste good. [[https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2014/05/whales-cant-taste-anything-salt As it turns out,]] whales (and dolphins) can only taste salt, so Marlin's "I don't taste good" excuse likely wouldn't work. (This may be justified, however, since Marlin likely had zero experience with whales beforehand, and probably didn't know this fact. [[CaptainObvious Or maybe he was just panicking in a stressful situation]].)

** None of the sea turtles seem to worry about having to breathe. They also don't travel in flocks, but this was intentional; see RuleOfCool below.

** Clownfish do live in anemones but they also live in harems dominated by one male and one female, with a lot of non-productive males in the rest. When the dominant female dies, the dominant male undergoes a GenderBender and becomes the new dominant female. Clownfish will also reproduce with their relatives in times of emergency. This particular tidbit has raised eyebrows at the choice of clownfish for the film.[[note]]Which, according to Podcast/RiffTrax, gives a [[ParentalIncest whole new meaning to Marlin's desperation to finding Nemo]]. Yikes.[[/note]] It has been stated though, the reason for the choice of clownfish was because they don't typically travel very far from their homes.

* Done in ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'' episode where Timmy's Dad's first time on the ''Series/AreYouSmarterThanA5thGrader'' spoof, "Are You Brighter Than a 6th Grader" had him answer "sea cucumber" to nearly all the questions until the last one, "what kind of cucumber lives in the sea" prompting him to say the wrong answer. Forcing himself to re-attend school, Timmy's Dad retakes the competition and goes on a roll until the last question, "which sea vegetable would suit perfectly on an undersea salad", causes him to hesitate until he finds it in himself to say the right answer. In spite of the name, sea cucumbers are ''not'' cucumbers or vegetables in general, but animals -- specifically echinoderms, like starfish. ''Regular'' cucumbers aren't technically vegetables, even.
