Many eels, both reef, benthic, and deep-sea, nocturnally migrate to the surface layer as larvae. [64] But while the ocean's surface may seem like an odd habitat for larval deep-sea fish, they are far from the most unusual.

The term Exocoetidae is both the scientific name and the general name in Latin for a flying fish. The suffix -idae, common for indicating a family, follows the root of the Latin word exocoetus, a transliteration of the Ancient Greek name ἐξώκοιτος.
A deep-diving swordfish, photographed in the eastern Gulf of Mexico at 701 meters below the surface. Swordfish prefer water temperatures between 18 and 22 °C (64 and 72 °F), [3] but have the widest tolerance among billfish, and can be found from 5 to 27 °C (41 to 81 °F). [6]
Fish migration is mass relocation by fish from one area or body of water to another. Many types of fish migrate on a regular basis, on time scales ranging from daily to annually or longer, and over distances ranging from a few metres to thousands of kilometres.

Given the speed and power of these fish, when they do spear things the results can be dramatic.
