Species Overview
Summer Flounder
The summer flounder, or fluke, is a flatfish that lies camouflaged on the ocean floor. Born with eyes on both sides, one eye migrates to the left side during development. An ambush predator, it explodes upward to grab passing prey.
Wahoo
The wahoo is one of the fastest fish in the ocean, capable of reaching speeds of 97 km/h. Its elongated, torpedo-shaped body and razor-sharp teeth make it an efficient pelagic predator found in tropical and subtropical waters worldwide.
