Most Interesting Marine Behavior

For me, I think that all marine behavior is just as fascinating as the other. Territorial behaviors showcase the different measures that marine organisms take to protect their grounds. The behavior of Moray eels were very interesting in a way that they get very easily threatened and that they will attack even if we were only making a friendly gesture. I never knew the importance of top predators. But now I understand that if the top predators were not present, the whole food chain would change. At first I thought that, the ocean would be better off without the top predators but I later realized that there will always be a top predator. I also found symbiosis relationships very interesting and it justified my curiosity of why some marine organisms would always stay together. I always thought that the remora was only there with the sharks to clean up their skin, the same way that particular birds clean up the skin of elephants or the teeth of crocodiles. I was never familiar with the different types of symbiosis such as commensalism. Most of all, I found marine schooling very intriguing and captivating. To see how schools of fish move in such a manner, made me dumbfound. I was puzzled at how the fish could move together in such unison and in such mesmerizing shapes and ways. One marine behavior that I was always attracted to was protective coloring. Underwater, some species of fish could camouflage so completely that we could not tell which was real and which was false.

In conclusions, I thought that marine schooling was the aspect of marine behavior was the most fascinating marine behavior. The conduct of fish school moving in such enthralling ways seemed completely impossible. This shows how cooperative and united fishes are. If only we humans could unify in the way that fishes do, all our solutions to various problems would have been resolved by now.
