Needlefish

Needlefish swimming in Hawaii

When I go snorkeling, one of the first fish I’m almost guaranteed to see are needlefish. The often congregate in the shallows just below the surface of the water. I can often get very close to them before they scoot to one side or part in the middle as I go through.

          That’s pretty much it. The much bigger crocodile needlefish can actually be dangerous during the twilight hours when they’re feeding. Some people have received some serious jab wounds being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
