Once upon a time, there were
Swordfish
She did not have to think long over her name, becauseas it appeared exclusively at the associative level. This "fish-tool" has an elongated pointed muzzle, which clearly resembles the shape of a sword. Hence, hence the name.
Despite its awesome name, it does not have teeth and even scales. And its tail has the shape of a crescent moon, which makes it especially interesting in the eyes of others.
Swordfish
This is a predatory representative of the familyhairy-tails. Has a bare elongated surface of the body. Its hue can be characterized as bluish, with a blue tint. At the end of its tail there is a filiform process that gradually turns into the fin and continues to the line of the head.
The only domestic habitat of this fish is considered to be the seaside beaches. It is easy to meet in the Japan, South China and East China seas, as well as off the coast of Africa and India.
Fish Needle
Its other name is a sea needle.Guessing about why it is called so, and not otherwise, is pretty simple. Her body to some extent resembles a snake, and she dwells in the depths of the sea. Like her brethren, the needle does not go deeper than a dozen meters.
This "fish-tool" prefers to get lost invegetation or among coral reefs, rather than being eaten by a larger species. Its length, though rare, can reach fifty centimeters.
Fish-awl
It is the next name of the previous species,but, unlike it, does not grow to a length of more than twenty-nine centimeters and rarely exceeds twenty. Her body is distinguished by a special subtlety, and even fragility. It feeds on plankton and hides in the thickets of algae. Inhabits the Baltic and Black Seas.
Fish-knife
Refers to the category of predators and from naturehas an organ capable of generating electrical waves (impulses) in conditions of danger and threat. Its maximum size is rarely able to exceed the mark of fifty centimeters. The main focus is America, namely Peru, Brazil, Colombia and Bolivia.
Another name - "black knife" - was given to them notonly for the appropriate color, but also for an active nightlife. This "fish-tool" feeds on worms, crustaceans, tadpoles, and also small fishes.
Hammer Fish
This is one of the most interesting and popularsubspecies, which is also the main recognized predator among the other inhabitants of the underwater world, sharks. If she received the name "hammer" in countries close to Europe, in India she is called only "horned fish".
Долгое время ученые расходились во мнении и не could understand why it has such a non-standard structure of the head? In the end, not so long ago, they managed to come together in a single solution. The fact is that the hammer shape not only allows sharks to sense the energy field of the future victim, but also serves as a kind of navigator, helping to orientate perfectly on the terrain.
According to the same researchers, this species was born about forty million years ago.
Fish saw
She received her name thanks to her nose, whichTwo drops resembles the shape of the eponymous instrument. This "fish - tool" comes from the family of skates and can reach a length of up to five meters. Her weight may fluctuate at an average of 320 kilograms.
Fish-shovel
Paradoxical as it may seem, this "fish"tool "is almost completely deprived of the ability to swim, but it is very good and fairly dexterously moving along the ocean floor." More surprising is the fact that the view was opened only at the end of 2010 off the coast of Tasmania.
Scientists claim that originally the fish couldmake only walks, but in the process of evolution she had fins that resemble the outlines of the hands. This fact allows her not only to walk, but also to swim, as befits any fish.
Fish belt
It received its name due to the incredible length, which is able to reach eleven meters in length.
Hatchet fish
The gloomy profile makes not only horrified, but also imbued with its difficult fate. Coincidence or not, this species dwells in the depths that each of us has never heard of.
During the hunt, the fish activates the lateral organs, which instantly provide the light necessary to attract prey.
Big yes little
Fish names are so multifaceted thatthe allotted scope of the article does not allow considering it in detail Nevertheless, even in such a short period of time, each reader was able to learn about the most interesting features inherent in a particular type.
Beginning of the End
“Fish is a tool” is an interesting ground forfurther research and detailed study. Being interested in the topics touched upon, one can become not just an amateur fisherman, but a real expert in a particular area - an ichthyologist. And remember that never happens late.
