Moalboal, Philippines.

This is what happens when silverlines are chased by predators. A beautiful choreography for life and survival.

Today, it has been a little bit too hot (up to 38 degrees), but the Cretan Sea's temperature is perfect.

 

Those fish are young salemas (Sarpa salpa).

Anilao, Philippines. Very hard to shoot. They don't hold still.

Reunion island - Saint Leu - Dec 2011

This one of the most usual fishes on the reef when it comes to the social organization of the species.

 

In this blog post I explain what this special social organization is about.

Reunion island - Saint Leu - Dec 2011

The lighter side of fish watching... catfish blues plus striped marine catfish schooling footage. These fish have such an unusual schooling behavior that I film them whenever I encounter them, and I managed to nudge my musician friend Paul into covering the blues classic to go with the footage. Paul is a professional musician based in Sydney, Australia, mainly playing the blues and classic rock.

 

All catfish footage from Dauin, Negros Island, Philippines.

Lots of jacks schooling in Tubbataha.

 

Many thanks to Prof. Kent Carpenter and the Tubbataha Marine Park Authority for inviting me to join the 2023 Tubbataha fish survey, and to Infinity live-on-boardfor providing great diving operations.

My friend and mentor Prof. Kent Carpenter and myself visited the sardines in Moalboal, Cebu, Philippines. It turns out that these are at least 3 species of sardines, and there are jackfishes in the aggregation.

Also, since the sardines don't move, it's not a sardine "run", but a stationary accumulation. Highly curious the whole scene, somewhat unusual for semi-pelagic fishes.

There are seven fish here, not 10-14 as the reflection indicates...
