Fish tools and their types

In nature, there are many representatives of the water world, honored to wear interesting names that correspond to one or another kind of activity or subject. As you can already guess, the article will deal with those whose nicknames have names similar to the names of some instruments.

Tools or fish?

Photos with names accompany each species throughout the narrative. This allows you not only to learn the cognitive information, but also to make a visual image of a particular fish.

We suggest to get acquainted with each representative separately.

Once upon a time, there were

Swordfish

Above her name did not have to think long, because it appeared exclusively at the associative level. This "fish-tool" has an elongated pointed muzzle, which clearly resembles the shape of a sword. Hence, hence the name.

Despite its awesome name, it does not have teeth and even scales. And its tail has the shape of a crescent moon, which makes it especially interesting in the eyes of others.

Swordfish

It is a predatory representative of the family of hairy-tailed. Has a bare, elongated surface of the body. Its hue can be characterized as bluish, with a blue tint. At the end of its tail there is a filiform process that gradually turns into the fin and continues to the line of the head.

The only domestic habitat of this fish is considered to be seaside beaches. It is easy to meet in the Japanese, South China and East China seas, as well as off the coast of Africa and India.

Fish Needle

Its other name is a sea needle. To guess why it is called so, and not otherwise, is quite simple. Her body to some extent resembles a snake, and she dwells in the depths of the sea. Like her brethren, the needle does not go deeper than a dozen meters.

This "fish-tool" prefers to get lost in vegetation or among coral reefs, rather than being eaten by a larger species. Its length, though rare, can reach fifty centimeters.

Fish-awl

It is the next name of the previous species, but, unlike it, does not grow to a length of more than twenty-nine centimeters and rarely exceeds twenty. Her body is distinguished by a special subtlety, and even fragility. It feeds on plankton and hides in the thickets of algae. Inhabits the Baltic and Black Seas.

Fish-knife

It belongs to the category of predators and naturally has an organ capable of producing electrical waves (impulses) in conditions of danger and threat. Its maximum size is rarely able to exceed the mark of fifty centimeters. The main focus is on America, namely Peru, Brazil, Colombia and Bolivia.

Another name - "black knife" - was given to them not only for the appropriate color, but also for an active night life. This "fish-tool" feeds on worms, crustaceans, tadpoles, and small fishes.

Hammer Fish

This is one of the most interesting and popular subspecies, which is also the main recognized predator among the other inhabitants of the underwater world, sharks. If she received the name "hammer" in countries close to Europe, in India she is called only "horned fish".

For a long time, scientists disagreed and could not understand why it has such a non-standard structure of the head? In the end, not so long ago, they managed to come together in a single solution. The fact is that the hammer-shaped form not only allows sharks to sense the energy field of the future victim, but also serves as a kind of navigator, helping to orientate perfectly on the terrain.

According to the same researchers, this species was born about forty million years ago.

Fish-saw

Her name she got thanks to her nose, which, like two drops, resembles the shape of the instrument of the same name. This "fish - tool" comes from the family of skates and can reach a length of up to five meters. At the same time, its weight can fluctuate at an average of 320 kilograms.

Fish-shovel

Paradoxically, this "fish-tool" is almost completely deprived of the ability to swim, but it is very good and moves quite deftly along the ocean floor. Even more surprising is the fact that the species was discovered only at the end of 2010 off the coast of Tasmania.

Scientists say that initially the fish could only go for a walk, but in the process of evolution, it had fins that resemble the outlines of the hands. This fact allows her not only to walk, but also to swim, as befits any fish.

Fish Strap

Its name she received due to the incredible length, which is capable of reaching eleven meters in length.

Fish hatchet

Gloomy profile makes not only terrified, but also imbued with its difficult fate. Coincidence or not, but this species lives on the depths, which each of us did not hear.

During the hunt, the fish activates the lateral organs, which instantly give the light necessary to attract prey.

Big and small

The names of fish are so multifaceted that the allotted scope of the article does not allow us to consider it in detail. Nevertheless, even in such a short period of time, each reader was able to learn about the most interesting features inherent in one kind or another.

Beginning of the End

"Fish is an instrument" is an interesting ground for further research and detailed study. Being interested in the subject matter, you can become not just an amateur fisherman, but a real connoisseur in a particular area - an ichthyologist. And remember that it never happens late.
