Is the seafloor looking at you?
The goosefish is an ambush predator. A goosefish lays in wait for its prey with a lure out like its cousins, anglerfish. The lure entices the prey, and the goosefish will strike, capturing its meal.

Know your sharks!
Sharks are crucial to ecosystems and have been around for about 400 million years. They are a very diverse group of fish, having adapted to almost any lifestyle, habitat and trophic level of oceanic animals.

How do eels know to migrate to the Sargasso Sea?
David Byrne and Patrik Svensson discuss how eels take multiple forms over their lifetime, and how it’s possible that a memory of these past forms drives their migration to the Sargasso Sea.
