Answer 1

I have no idea about the torpedo but I will tell you that whoever tells you that 90 kg is 36 pounds is out of his/her mind. 90 Kg is about 200 lbs.

Answer 2

Sort of depends upon their origin ----

Adult torpedoes are usually 2 to 5 feet long or a little longer, and heavy for their size. Specimens taken at Woods Hole average about 30 pounds, while most of those taken anywhere on our Atlantic coast weigh less than 75 pounds. One was once seen only about 4 feet long from Chesapeake Bay that weighed about 100 pounds; one of 144 pounds was brought from Nantucket to the U. S. Fisheries Station at Woods Hole many years ago; and the heaviest taken near Provincetown were estimated long ago by a fisherman of keen observation as 170 to 200 pounds.

However, the maximum published weight is 90.0 kg (198.42 pounds)
