EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases a mesmerizing sight of schooling jackfish, also known as big-eye trevally or Caranx sexfasciatus. These magnificent fish gather in massive numbers during the day, forming an impressive wall of fast-moving bodies that serves as their defense mechanism against predators. By seeking safety in numbers, it becomes incredibly challenging for any predator to single out and focus on a particular target within this bustling school. As night falls, the school fragments into smaller groups to satisfy their voracious appetite by feeding mainly on smaller fish. With their remarkable speed and agility, these fast-swimming predators can reach lengths of up to 80 centimeters. Their preferred habitat lies within tropical and subtropical coastal waters near reefs. Jackfish are not only renowned for their survival tactics but are also highly regarded as excellent food fish due to their delectable taste. This underwater spectacle captured by Science Photo Library truly highlights the beauty and diversity found beneath the ocean's surface. In this stunning photograph, multiple jackfish swim together in perfect harmony amidst the vibrant blue backdrop of the sea. The image encapsulates both the awe-inspiring nature of marine life and its intricate dynamics within a shoal or group setting. It is a testament to the wonders of zoology and wildlife that continue to captivate our imagination with every glimpse into this fascinating world beneath the waves.
