Fun Facts

Fun Facts

  • Milkfish swim in large schools. When hurt, their body produces an alarm substance which alerts their companions to predators or other danger.

  • Milkfish have a forked tail. As fish use the caudal fin for propulsion, a forked shape can minimise the drag from water, and therefore allows the fish to be fast swimmers.
