The Indonesian Needlefish

Indonesian Needlefish


Needlefish are commonly seen schooling near the surface of tropical and subtropical waters. But they can also hurl themselves out of the water, and once airborne they can become dangerous flying daggers. Though it is rare, people have been seriously hurt and even killed when stabbed by the fish’s sharp, elongated jaws. Night fishermen in small boats are at particular risk because their lights may attract the fish.
