It is a fish that lives in a shoal, from a few individuals to about 80.
We see it more often at sunset or early in the morning, because of its diurnal activity.
The humpback parrotfish is a herbivore and coralivorous fish.
The kakihona sushi (sushi wrapped in persimmon leaves) are really the best!
To eat them, you have to go to Nara!
The whale shark is the largest fish in the world!
Some whales are larger, but they are mammals, not fish!
The tiger shark has slender marks similars to the lines of tigers, hence its name.
When it is juvenile, these marks are round and not vertical. They change when it grows.
