Species Overview
Blue Marlin
The blue marlin is the pinnacle of big-game fishing. Found in tropical and temperate Atlantic and Indo-Pacific waters, it can exceed 500 kg and is known for spectacular aerial displays when hooked.
Clownfish
The ocellaris clownfish is a protandrous sequential hermaphrodite that lives in a mutualistic relationship with sea anemones. Its mucus coating protects it from anemone stings. All individuals are born male and the dominant fish transitions to female.
