You’re welcome. Your post made me curious so I looked it up!

I don’t know how it works with humans.

I have read that apparently some fish don’t seem to have an upper limit to their lives once they become large enough to be at the top of the food chain in their environment, and no disease, injury or toxin gets to them. Supposedly, there were one-ton catfish in the Mississippi River when the early settlers arrived. That may have worked out to several hundred years of age.

You would think that scientist who study longevity would study these fish to find out what their secret is. Not only is she 125 years old but still releasing eggs!!!
