What kind of fish is earthquake fish?

The seismofish is the longest bony fish in the ocean, and it is one of the species of the family Rhinopodidae. The fish are bright silver with red ventral fins in the shape of an oar, widely distributed in the tropical deep sea and rarely on the surface of the water.

Second, the living habits of earthquake fish

Earthquake fish live only in the warm depths of the Pacific and Atlantic oceans and are carnivorous fishes with ferocious temperament and cannibalistic behavior of the same kind. Its food includes a variety of small and medium-sized fish, squid, krill, crabs and so on.

Although its huge body and ugly face appear hideous and scary, the rowfish swims very slowly and does not have such lethal teeth. It usually floats on the bottom of the sea head up and tail down. when the prey swims through the mouth, its upper and lower jaws are hard enough to crush the crustaceans.

The mouth of the earthquake fish is very small but has two sharp teeth. When you see the big fish within the range of its attack, it shrinks up, and the fish swims above it, and it bounces out and bites the fish like a spring.

Scientists believe that the reason for such ferocious behavior is that they live in the deep sea where other fish are scarce, lack of food, in order to survive, after a long evolution. This discovery once again confirms the immutable law of nature, "the law of the jungle, the survival of the fittest."
