[5] [6] Corallivorous fish come from 11 different families. [5] 39 species are obligate corallivores. [5] Butterflyfish have a wide range of adaptations that facilitate coral consumption. Some butterflyfish have long mouth that they use like forceps to pluck off individual coral polyps and some use their teeth to scrape off coral tissue. [2]
The gelatinous body plan allows for flexibility when catching prey, but the gelatinous adaptations are based on habitat. [23] They swim around waiting for their long tentacles to encounter prey. In addition, siphonophores in a group denoted Erenna have the ability to generate bioluminescence and red fluorescence while its tentilla twitches in a ...
Fish need dissolved oxygen to survive, although their tolerance to low oxygen varies among species; in extreme cases of low oxygen, some fish even resort to air gulping. [25] Plants often have to produce aerenchyma, while the shape and size of leaves may also be altered. [26] Conversely, oxygen is fatal to many kinds of anaerobic bacteria. [22]
Foureye butterflyfish usually frequent shallow inshore waters, where they feed on a variety of invertebrates, mainly zoantharians, sea anemones, scleractinians, [6] polychaete worms, gorgonians, tunicates, crustaceans and fish eggs. [7] This fish is known for its uncanny ability to swim in and around coral heads and reefs.
There was a loss of opercular and extrascapular elements, enhancing head mobility in T. roseae compared to other tetrapodomorph fish. [1] The formation of the neck allowed for locomotion in shallow waters. This environment allows for less motility compared to the three-dimensional space that fish are able to orient themselves in.
Fishtronaut (Portuguese: Peixonauta) is a Brazilian animated children's television series created by Célia Catunda [1] and Kiko Mistrorigo, and produced by TV PinGuim, in association with Discovery Kids. [2] The series is about the eponymous character, a fish in a spacesuit which allows him to fly and breathe out of water.
Cott's art in the service of zoology: the four-eye butterfly fish, Chaetodon capistratus, showing two adaptations at once: concealment of the eye, and distraction with an eyespot. Fig. 76 from Adaptive Coloration in Animals Conspicuous localized characters. Chapter 4. Deflective marks.
Cheilopogon pinnatibarbatus, Bennett's flying fish, is a species of flying fish which has a circumglobal distribution in tropical and subtropical seas. [1] It is an epiplegaic species which feeds on zooplankton and small fishes and is capable of leaping out of the water and gliding over the surface.
