Curious Facts about fishes

1. Lionfish are a prolific invasive species in the Atlantic Ocean and sharks typically don’t recognize them as prey. In an effort to control the lionfish population, a group of conservationists attempted to train reef sharks to prey on them.

2. Ocean fish, rays, turtles and sharks stop at cleaning stations, where smaller shrimp and fish clean them of parasites, even swimming into their mouth and gills to do a thorough job.

3. Parrot fish eats corals and poops sand. These fishes are responsible for many of the islands and beaches in the Caribbean.

4. Restaurants often serve a fish called Escolar, disguised to be Tuna on the menu. Eating too much of this fish, more than 6 ounces, will cause explosive, oily, uncontrollable orange diarrhea. Accidents can also happen while passing gas.

5. In Laguna, Brazil, bottlenose dolphins actively herd fish towards local fishermen and then signal with tail slaps for the fishermen to throw their nets. This has been happening at least since 1847.
