The seesaw sucker fish (imbibus flatulus) feeds on tiny animals and decaying material |
|||||||||||||||
buried in the bottom muds of the Polygian oceans. It sucks up the mud, gulps it past |
|||||||||||||||
gill rakers located in its throat, and then blows the muddy water back out its rear end. |
|||||||||||||||
The gill rakers catch the pieces of food and also remove oxygen from the water so the |
|||||||||||||||
fish can breathe. Since it is a bottom dwelling flat fish it usually moves very slowly as |
|||||||||||||||
it roots through the mud in search of food. But if it is startled it can jet propel itself out |
|||||||||||||||
of danger by rapidly sucking in water and then blowing it out its rear. As it does so the |
|||||||||||||||
front and rear ends of its body rock up and down. That's how it got its name. |
