🐡 Triggerfish are a fascinating and beautiful family of fish that are popular as marine aquarium species. This has led to the decline of some species, spurring efforts to learn to spawn these species in captivity to meet this demand.⁠ ⁠ As a protection against predators, triggerfish are capable of extending their spines to protect themselves, much like the famous part-man/part-wolverine comic book character. They can also use their spines to lock themselves into small areas such as cracks in rocks or reefs, making it difficult for predators to remove them from their refuge.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ 🎥 @uwlunatic⁠ 💬 @science #science #triggerfish #fish ##marineanimals #marinecritters #underwater #ocean #marinelife #marinebiology #biology #nature #balistidae #oneoceaneducation #oneoceanconservation #oneoceanresearch
