Name this fish that is known to launch itself out of the water like a torpedo, and knock fishermen off their boats.

With an abundance of fish species in the world, it is easy to forget about all of the ones in the water. One type that seems to come out of fiction is the electric fish. There are around 350 types of electric fish in the world. A fish that is able to generate electricity is called electrogenic, but some can also detect electric fields, which are electropositive. The types of electric fish that are able to produce a charge, are able to because of their electric organ. This organ is made from modified organs and nerve cells that evolved able to produce a larger charger. Communication and defense are the primary uses of this electric organ. Waters in 10.

Description Flying fish are ray-finned fish with highly modified pectoral fins. Despite their name, flying fish aren’t capable of powered flight. Instead they propel themselves out of the water at speeds of more than 35 miles (56 kilometers) an hour. Once in the air, their rigid “wings” allow them to glide for up to 650 feet (200 meters). The winglike pectoral fins are primarily for gliding—the fish hold the fins flat at their sides when swimming. Their streamlined bodies reduce drag when the fish are “flying.” Another interesting characteristic of the flying fish is its unevenly forked tail, which has a top lobe that’s shorter than the bottom lobe. Flying fish can be up to 18 inches (45 centimeters) long, but average 7 to 12 inches (17 to 30 centimeters). Range There are roughly 40 species of flying fish. Flying fish are tropical and temperate marine species that can be seen off both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of the United States. They are also found in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian oceans. Open oceans provide a habitat for most flying fish, but some live instead on the outskirts of coral reefs. It’s thought that flying fish evolved a flying mechanism to escape from their many oceanic predators. Once in the air, though, they sometimes become food for Life History Spawning takes place in the open ocean, near the water’s surface. A female deposits eggs, which are attached by sticky filaments to seaweed and floating debris. Newly hatched flying fish have whiskers n...

Marty Noe, a veteran submariner, is here to give us a taste of this unique language. Noe served on three nuclear fast attack boats, the USS Phoenix (SSN 702), the USS Montpelier (SSN 765), and the USS North Carolina (SSN 777). So an old school Los Angeles-class boat with fairwater planes and no vertical launch system for Tomahawk cruise missiles, a newer Los Angeles-class boat with bow-planes and a vertical launch system, and an ultra-modern Virginia Class, on which he was a plankowner (part of the first crew to launch and operate the boat). Noe also served shore tours in Washington DC and Naples, Italy. During his service in the Navy, which ran from late 1986 to mid 2009, he was a Chief Yeoman and qualified and stood topside watch, below-decks watch, duty chief, basic sonar operator, chief of the watch, diving officer of the watch, pilot/co-pilot. After retiring from the Navy her got his bachelor’s degree in History, went to grad school and now works in college administration at his alma mater. Here are some of the submarine terms, a few of which are related to unique stories, that stand out from his 23 year long naval career, all in his words.

Caption : In addition to spit-shooting, an archer fish, pictured here, can launch itself from a near standstill, out of the water to a height of more than two times its body length. “Unlike, say, a shark that comes barreling up from the bottom to catch its prey, an archer fish’s initial momentum is zero,” says Alexandra Techet, associate professor of mechanical engineering at MIT. Caption : In addition to spit-shooting, an archer fish, pictured here, can launch itself from a near standstill, out of the water to a height of more than two times its body length. “Unlike, say, a shark that comes barreling up from the bottom to catch its prey, an archer fish’s initial momentum is zero,” says Alexandra Techet, associate professor of mechanical engineering at MIT. The archer fish is arguably the ninja of the aquatic world, known for its stealth-like, arrow-straight aim while shooting down unsuspecting prey. Once the fish has sighted its target, it can spit jets of water to dislodge insects from overhanging leaves, making them topple into the water. But once an insect is shot down, it becomes fair game for any passing predator, and the archer fish is not necessarily the first to catch the fallen quarry. That’s when the fish’s other equally impressive, though less-studied, prey-capture strategy can be an advantage. In addition to spit-shooting, an archer fish can launch itself from a near standstill, out of the water to a height of more than two times its body length. In this way, ...
