Species Overview

Atlantic Herring

The Atlantic herring is one of the most abundant fish species on Earth, forming massive schools of billions of individuals. It has played a crucial role in European history, fueling trade routes and even wars.

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.
