WEBVTT 00:12.480 --> 00:20.306 [SPEAKER_01]: Welcome to Freaky Fana Friday, where every Friday we take a little time and explore some of the freaks of nature from around the planet. 00:20.786 --> 00:22.248 [SPEAKER_01]: We cherish so deeply. 00:22.868 --> 00:26.671 [SPEAKER_01]: So please, jump aboard and let's explore the wilds together. 00:30.174 --> 00:32.475 [SPEAKER_02]: Ooh, decent. 00:33.256 --> 00:33.937 [SPEAKER_02]: Welcome back. 00:40.568 --> 00:43.931 [SPEAKER_02]: Today we're gonna talk about a master of speed. 00:44.631 --> 00:46.253 [SPEAKER_00]: Ooh, nice. 00:46.653 --> 00:48.255 [SPEAKER_02]: The open ocean sailfish. 00:49.035 --> 00:49.396 [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, okay. 00:50.877 --> 00:59.804 [SPEAKER_02]: Out in the open ocean, there's a sleek and powerful hunter that uses its speed agility and velocity to slash and stab its prey with its elongated jaw. 01:00.165 --> 01:00.665 [SPEAKER_00]: Dang. 01:02.026 --> 01:03.888 [SPEAKER_01]: But it's no ordinary swordfish or marlin. 01:04.709 --> 01:07.311 [SPEAKER_02]: It also has a glorious sail on its back. 01:09.007 --> 01:17.277 [SPEAKER_02]: used to stabilize itself at moving incredible speeds, as well as to communicate with other members of species and to dazzle its neighbors. 01:18.219 --> 01:22.043 [SPEAKER_02]: This is the sailfish and is reportedly the fastest animal in the ocean. 01:23.966 --> 01:24.887 [SPEAKER_00]: I just seen recently. 01:25.792 --> 01:32.055 [SPEAKER_00]: On, I don't know what it was Facebook or something like a little baby sale fish someone was holding in their hand That's funny. 01:32.075 --> 01:34.977 [SPEAKER_02]: But people catch them every once in a while and like coastal areas like they get blown in. 01:35.197 --> 01:37.118 [SPEAKER_00]: They look pretty cool like the baby versions. 01:37.478 --> 01:38.678 [SPEAKER_00]: I mean it's just they have the sale. 01:38.979 --> 01:44.361 [SPEAKER_00]: It's yeah and the and the nose Soared they're not born with that which we'll talk about okay. 01:44.381 --> 01:44.881 [SPEAKER_02]: They grow. 01:46.742 --> 01:49.224 [SPEAKER_02]: So what's their habitat warm oceans worldwide. 01:49.544 --> 01:50.304 [SPEAKER_00]: Ah, the ocean. 01:50.544 --> 01:51.945 [SPEAKER_02]: So if it's all of the oceans 01:52.675 --> 01:53.896 [SPEAKER_00]: So salt water. 01:54.216 --> 01:56.317 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, if it's warm warm salt water. 01:56.557 --> 02:00.338 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, if you're in coastal have you're in tropical coastal waters You'll probably run into these guys. 02:00.478 --> 02:02.019 [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if I've ever seen one in person. 02:02.199 --> 02:04.160 [SPEAKER_02]: They're so fast You got to really target them. 02:04.640 --> 02:04.800 [SPEAKER_02]: Mm-hmm. 02:05.181 --> 02:07.862 [SPEAKER_02]: They can live up to 15 years in the wild. 02:08.022 --> 02:17.486 [SPEAKER_02]: Okay, which for their group of animals is pretty old Yeah, because they kind of have a live fast dying like lifestyle as a Genius 02:18.046 --> 02:18.767 [SPEAKER_02]: Okay, got you. 02:18.907 --> 02:25.451 [SPEAKER_02]: They get really big really quick and they just they're so fast They can get to 10 feet long. 02:25.931 --> 02:29.493 [SPEAKER_02]: That's pretty big fish which is pretty small for their family group really. 02:29.713 --> 02:31.514 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah That's a big fish though. 02:31.694 --> 02:32.775 [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, it is okay 02:33.738 --> 02:37.822 [SPEAKER_02]: When you talk about their cousins like the blue and the black marlins that get on the marlins are in there. 02:37.962 --> 02:41.725 [SPEAKER_00]: I figured they were okay I was gonna ask what the difference is sale fish and I'm marlin. 02:42.606 --> 02:43.206 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean the sale. 02:43.407 --> 02:53.295 [SPEAKER_02]: That's just that that's it I mean they have different builds to and sale fish or like top which we'll talk about our top of the ocean feeders and Soared fish normally spend their time much deeper. 02:53.896 --> 02:54.296 [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, okay. 02:54.516 --> 02:54.736 [SPEAKER_00]: Okay. 02:54.756 --> 02:57.719 [SPEAKER_02]: Okay dot now in there They can get to be about 200 pounds 02:59.000 --> 03:04.145 [SPEAKER_02]: They're almost always the blue gray with counter shading, so they're bellies or lighter than their tops, but they have stripes. 03:04.365 --> 03:04.625 [SPEAKER_02]: Okay. 03:04.945 --> 03:08.028 [SPEAKER_02]: Their diet is smaller, sholing fish and cephalopods. 03:08.288 --> 03:11.031 [SPEAKER_02]: So open ocean squids. 03:11.531 --> 03:13.933 [SPEAKER_02]: When they're young, pretty much every other fish will try to eat them. 03:14.434 --> 03:16.415 [SPEAKER_02]: Sharks are really their only natural predator when they're mature. 03:16.435 --> 03:17.076 [SPEAKER_02]: Okay. 03:17.116 --> 03:19.158 [SPEAKER_02]: Stuff like work as and stuff like that really can't catch them. 03:19.538 --> 03:20.058 [SPEAKER_00]: to past. 03:20.239 --> 03:21.860 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 03:22.040 --> 03:27.463 [SPEAKER_02]: You're talking about like spinner sharks, makers, you know, other sharks that are built for speed. 03:28.084 --> 03:32.887 [SPEAKER_02]: They're still not as fast, but they're much more likely to be able to catch a sail fish off guard. 03:33.007 --> 03:33.367 [SPEAKER_00]: That's yeah. 03:34.330 --> 03:41.357 [SPEAKER_02]: They can swim up to 35 kilometers per hour, about 22 miles per hour, and some put them up to 35 miles per hour. 03:41.777 --> 03:42.318 [SPEAKER_00]: Pretty quick. 03:42.338 --> 03:42.618 [SPEAKER_00]: Sure. 03:43.158 --> 03:43.919 [SPEAKER_02]: No, that's fast. 03:43.959 --> 03:44.980 [SPEAKER_00]: Just cutting through the water. 03:46.001 --> 03:48.624 [SPEAKER_02]: How many numbers of species there are is arguable? 03:48.644 --> 03:50.325 [SPEAKER_02]: OK. Well, they're it's one or two. 03:51.166 --> 03:52.207 [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, OK. That's it. 03:52.407 --> 03:52.587 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. 03:52.888 --> 03:55.630 [SPEAKER_02]: OK. Any questions so far? 03:55.911 --> 03:57.052 [SPEAKER_00]: They're not very diverse. 03:57.846 --> 04:10.110 [SPEAKER_02]: no, and it's probably because of we talked about this before with many many different animals of their ranges, they can travel against their whole ranges so fast as your genetics are shared, you know, okay, yeah, so that prevent speciation. 04:10.496 --> 04:11.777 [SPEAKER_00]: Are they atop the food chain, too? 04:12.037 --> 04:12.157 [SPEAKER_00]: No. 04:12.478 --> 04:12.898 [SPEAKER_00]: No, they're not. 04:12.918 --> 04:13.618 [SPEAKER_00]: Mm-hmm. 04:13.679 --> 04:14.239 [SPEAKER_02]: Okay. 04:14.259 --> 04:18.182 [SPEAKER_02]: You find sale fish, oh, I did a big adult sale fish, we eaten by sharks and stuff like that. 04:18.482 --> 04:19.303 [SPEAKER_02]: Gotcha. 04:19.523 --> 04:26.469 [SPEAKER_02]: So to be like an apex predator, you are only targeted by members of your species or other apex predators. 04:26.749 --> 04:27.109 [SPEAKER_02]: Gotcha. 04:27.489 --> 04:30.212 [SPEAKER_02]: That's kind of the rough definition of an apex predator. 04:30.252 --> 04:35.516 [SPEAKER_02]: These guys are up there, but they're not like, they get targeted by marlin, they get targeted by sharks. 04:36.336 --> 04:39.439 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, even when they're full grown, there are many bigger fish than them. 04:39.679 --> 04:39.999 [SPEAKER_00]: Gotcha. 04:40.159 --> 04:40.419 [SPEAKER_00]: Okay. 04:40.839 --> 04:42.019 [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, they just are really fast. 04:43.100 --> 04:47.621 [SPEAKER_02]: See if it's your beautiful fast moving and extremely muscular fish that are always on the move. 04:48.341 --> 04:53.322 [SPEAKER_02]: They can accelerate at a tremendous rate, hunt in large groups and cover incredible distances. 04:54.162 --> 04:54.622 [SPEAKER_00]: Okay. 04:55.182 --> 05:05.184 [SPEAKER_02]: Their habitat temperature are, their habitat is temperate waters in the Pacific Indian and Atlantic oceans, often your coast regions are owned or reefs, or their main food sources live. 05:06.217 --> 05:09.218 [SPEAKER_02]: Their diet is smaller fish, crustaceans, and squid. 05:10.098 --> 05:14.279 [SPEAKER_02]: In particular, they like to feed on sardines and anchovies. 05:14.359 --> 05:17.240 [SPEAKER_02]: So if you find sardines and anchovies, you'll probably find these guys. 05:18.380 --> 05:20.001 [SPEAKER_02]: Sailfish are a species of billfish. 05:21.461 --> 05:22.861 [SPEAKER_00]: You're talking about the sword on the nose. 05:22.921 --> 05:23.541 [SPEAKER_00]: Yes. 05:23.581 --> 05:24.242 [SPEAKER_02]: So it's called a bill. 05:24.762 --> 05:25.162 [SPEAKER_00]: OK. 05:25.742 --> 05:26.762 [SPEAKER_00]: He says, par their jaw? 05:27.222 --> 05:28.723 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's an elongated upper jaw. 05:29.183 --> 05:30.443 [SPEAKER_00]: OK. Oh, upper jaw. 05:30.603 --> 05:31.584 [SPEAKER_00]: Normally, it's the lower jaw. 05:31.604 --> 05:32.784 [SPEAKER_00]: Is that animal scrub? 05:32.824 --> 05:33.004 [SPEAKER_02]: Mm-hmm. 05:34.219 --> 05:45.483 [SPEAKER_02]: which are a group of fish with portrayed with pointed bills, as include swordfish and marlins, sailfish or have a sword like upper jaw twice as long as similar pointed lower jaw. 05:46.224 --> 05:49.785 [SPEAKER_02]: They do have an extended lower jaw as well, but it's the upper jaw is twice as long. 05:49.825 --> 05:51.786 [SPEAKER_02]: Like a big woodpecker beak, yeah. 05:52.486 --> 05:53.587 [SPEAKER_02]: and it's a how they hunt. 05:54.508 --> 06:06.478 [SPEAKER_02]: While two sailfish subspecies have been recognized, the Atlantic sailfish and the Indo-Pacific sailfish, they're such a little difference but found between them, most authorities now classify them both as a single species. 06:06.498 --> 06:16.107 [SPEAKER_00]: So they're just one species but different characteristics perhaps, which is called, come on say it. 06:16.487 --> 06:17.208 [SPEAKER_00]: I ask you this time. 06:17.821 --> 06:18.742 [SPEAKER_02]: a phenotypical difference. 06:18.762 --> 06:19.102 [SPEAKER_02]: There we go. 06:19.122 --> 06:19.943 [SPEAKER_00]: But phenotypes. 06:20.223 --> 06:21.344 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 06:21.364 --> 06:23.786 [SPEAKER_02]: Sadly, they are a popular targets for sports fishermen. 06:24.106 --> 06:29.110 [SPEAKER_02]: They can sometimes give them or give or give almost as good as they get. 06:29.210 --> 06:32.392 [SPEAKER_02]: Fortunately, their populations are considered stable and least concerned. 06:32.612 --> 06:33.173 [SPEAKER_00]: Hey, that's good. 06:33.413 --> 06:35.254 [SPEAKER_02]: Which for their family group is amazing. 06:36.315 --> 06:37.556 [SPEAKER_02]: Because most of them are not. 06:38.357 --> 06:38.817 [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, okay. 06:38.857 --> 06:40.178 [SPEAKER_02]: Not in a state of his own right now. 06:40.318 --> 06:41.039 [SPEAKER_00]: In that family group. 06:41.059 --> 06:41.279 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. 06:41.319 --> 06:41.579 [SPEAKER_00]: Got you. 06:41.599 --> 06:41.939 [SPEAKER_00]: Okay. 06:42.540 --> 06:44.962 [SPEAKER_02]: And there's no current protection place upon them around the 06:45.603 --> 06:55.526 [SPEAKER_02]: and well we probably just don't know how many just because they are global species and they they reproduce a lot faster than some of their bigger relatives okay that's good they get they get to adulthood much quicker 06:55.928 --> 06:58.569 [SPEAKER_00]: I know like in any sort of like fishing aim. 06:58.589 --> 06:59.830 [SPEAKER_00]: This is the trophy fish. 07:00.030 --> 07:01.431 [SPEAKER_02]: A sailfish is one of them. 07:01.471 --> 07:01.811 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. 07:03.572 --> 07:06.513 [SPEAKER_02]: They are apparently the fastest animal in the ocean. 07:07.414 --> 07:08.254 [SPEAKER_02]: Now this is argued. 07:09.074 --> 07:14.597 [SPEAKER_02]: There's early estimates of the speeds of sailfish in the forties that they could swim up to 67 miles per hour. 07:14.897 --> 07:15.778 [SPEAKER_02]: That's so fast. 07:17.138 --> 07:20.360 [SPEAKER_02]: Making it so nearly faster than pretty much everything else in the ocean. 07:21.400 --> 07:28.219 [SPEAKER_02]: From this though, somewhat less delusioned while life bloggers have spotted making claims of upwards of 70 miles per hour. 07:29.589 --> 07:37.414 [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, some can even convert the killer and forget to change the units and then you're not as riddle with exaggerations and the accurate claims of how fast they can swim. 07:37.574 --> 07:37.855 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. 07:38.515 --> 07:44.499 [SPEAKER_00]: I imagine, I mean, imagine, that's, I imagine on the side of the road and a car drives by 70 miles per hour, you know what that feels like, right? 07:44.979 --> 07:47.561 [SPEAKER_02]: So that those are the unsustainable reports. 07:47.621 --> 07:47.861 [SPEAKER_00]: Right. 07:48.102 --> 07:48.282 [SPEAKER_00]: Right. 07:48.302 --> 07:48.442 [SPEAKER_00]: Right. 07:48.482 --> 07:54.346 [SPEAKER_02]: The most accurate ones we have is about 25 to 30 miles per hour that we've tracked. 07:54.546 --> 07:54.746 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 07:54.946 --> 07:55.226 [SPEAKER_00]: Okay. 07:55.406 --> 07:56.968 [SPEAKER_02]: So I'd put them up with the fastest. 07:59.549 --> 08:00.850 [SPEAKER_00]: It's so imagining the one, though. 08:00.870 --> 08:05.534 [SPEAKER_02]: It's like, can we just peel on some miles an hour by a- I'm pretty comfortable saying they probably get up to 50. 08:05.874 --> 08:06.074 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. 08:06.635 --> 08:08.676 [SPEAKER_02]: Because it's just so hard to measure them at that speed. 08:08.876 --> 08:09.196 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. 08:10.137 --> 08:14.020 [SPEAKER_00]: And there's always the freaks of nature that can go faster than the other. 08:14.080 --> 08:16.322 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, everything about their biology is four speed. 08:16.342 --> 08:17.523 [SPEAKER_00]: Speed, yes, speed only. 08:18.992 --> 08:22.953 [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, so yeah, substantiate lower than previous estimates, but still incredibly fast for a fish. 08:22.973 --> 08:24.953 [SPEAKER_02]: They come more accurate measurements available so far. 08:25.834 --> 08:33.015 [SPEAKER_02]: Standard research discovered the potential acceleration of of sailfish's bill of up to 1301 meters per second. 08:34.715 --> 08:37.676 [SPEAKER_02]: An incredible feat and a brilliant way to take prey by surprise. 08:37.696 --> 08:38.996 [SPEAKER_02]: So that's how fast they can swing their bill. 08:39.456 --> 08:40.917 [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah, like a sword. 08:41.097 --> 08:42.137 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 08:43.122 --> 08:44.763 [SPEAKER_00]: It's not just a fancy name for the other fish. 08:45.323 --> 08:50.685 [SPEAKER_02]: So these fish are fast, but perhaps not quite as fast as reported similar ways of the speed of the black marlin. 08:51.505 --> 08:53.406 [SPEAKER_02]: However, they accelerate much faster. 08:54.506 --> 08:54.846 [SPEAKER_00]: OK. 08:55.247 --> 08:56.547 [SPEAKER_02]: So it's an argument whether. 08:57.047 --> 08:58.948 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you reach the top speed faster. 08:58.988 --> 09:02.469 [SPEAKER_00]: You just eventually, at your top speed is faster. 09:02.529 --> 09:03.770 [SPEAKER_02]: They're very hard to measure. 09:05.751 --> 09:06.711 [SPEAKER_02]: Freaky fun, effective, too. 09:07.151 --> 09:09.012 [SPEAKER_02]: They are probably slower than make-o sharks. 09:10.128 --> 09:18.538 [SPEAKER_02]: which are another one that has seen sailfish, you know, about 35 miles per hour, physical limitations, make those are right there at 30 miles per hour. 09:18.818 --> 09:20.560 [SPEAKER_02]: They're pretty much their top predator. 09:20.921 --> 09:21.181 [SPEAKER_00]: Okay. 09:21.982 --> 09:28.590 [SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, make those where they are a little slower if they can get a hole and if they can surprise the sailfish, they'll get them. 09:28.610 --> 09:29.351 [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, I'm okay. 09:29.371 --> 09:30.312 [SPEAKER_00]: I am bush attack. 09:32.058 --> 09:34.099 [SPEAKER_02]: selfish even grow fast. 09:34.760 --> 09:40.162 [SPEAKER_02]: Within the first year, selfish from their eggs can be up to five feet long. 09:41.043 --> 09:42.264 [SPEAKER_00]: That's extremely fast. 09:42.784 --> 09:49.708 [SPEAKER_02]: Eggs hatch within 36 hours of being laid, making the fish one that really does all of its characters points to accelerated growth. 09:52.212 --> 09:53.273 [SPEAKER_00]: That's pretty, that's rewild. 09:53.413 --> 09:55.874 [SPEAKER_02]: And so in their first year, they can be up to five feet long. 09:56.494 --> 09:58.695 [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, there's a bunch of open ocean fish that do that though. 09:58.795 --> 10:03.498 [SPEAKER_02]: No, maybe not, that extreme, but like, I believe it's Mahimahi, the dolphin fish. 10:03.958 --> 10:06.079 [SPEAKER_02]: Okay, I can complete their life cycle in six months. 10:06.799 --> 10:07.540 [SPEAKER_02]: That's wild. 10:08.780 --> 10:09.981 [SPEAKER_00]: That's extremely fast. 10:10.481 --> 10:12.002 [SPEAKER_00]: I always thought Mahimahi were tuna. 10:13.363 --> 10:14.423 [SPEAKER_02]: Now I can see that, but no. 10:15.164 --> 10:16.264 [SPEAKER_00]: I always thought it was. 10:16.564 --> 10:17.945 [SPEAKER_00]: Mahimahi tuna, I don't know why. 10:19.135 --> 10:21.538 [SPEAKER_02]: The user's sale for balance is the next figure for an effect. 10:22.099 --> 10:29.787 [SPEAKER_02]: Among other uses, the sale on their back can be used to stabilize it's long bill when they're getting up to speed, like fins on a rocket. 10:30.188 --> 10:30.348 [SPEAKER_00]: Hmm. 10:30.528 --> 10:30.789 [SPEAKER_00]: Okay. 10:31.209 --> 10:37.617 [SPEAKER_02]: This is perhaps why the sale fish are approaching prey items without telegraphing, it's heading over to spear them. 10:38.678 --> 10:39.038 [SPEAKER_00]: Okay. 10:40.000 --> 10:46.983 [SPEAKER_02]: So it helps accurately aim at spear and keep it when they're going that fast because you can start getting off course really easy. 10:47.063 --> 10:48.523 [SPEAKER_02]: Oh yeah, so it's a big drag. 10:49.404 --> 10:50.744 [SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, it's a big yeah. 10:51.365 --> 10:53.105 [SPEAKER_02]: They also use it for communication, which we'll talk about. 10:54.166 --> 10:57.227 [SPEAKER_02]: There's sale can be taller than the length of their entire body. 10:57.847 --> 10:59.228 [SPEAKER_00]: Whoa, now that I didn't know. 11:00.120 --> 11:04.661 [SPEAKER_02]: They don't always swim with it fully open though, so it can be very hard to tell how tall they actually are. 11:04.721 --> 11:12.423 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, even at full speed, they'll maybe only have it half open or still, but they sometimes keep it folded all the way down to helping swim faster to escape predators. 11:12.723 --> 11:17.724 [SPEAKER_00]: So I imagine they use it fully open for like, courtship displays. 11:17.764 --> 11:18.505 [SPEAKER_00]: That's his next thing. 11:18.745 --> 11:23.766 [SPEAKER_02]: Okay, they hunt impacts, so this is another unusual behavior for them. 11:24.506 --> 11:32.931 [SPEAKER_02]: So over a hundred sale fish can gang up in his school, the hunt, a giant school of bait fish during an epic hurting and hunting event. 11:32.951 --> 11:33.651 [SPEAKER_00]: That's pretty wild. 11:34.352 --> 11:38.774 [SPEAKER_02]: So they will all work together to hurt schools of bait fish into a kill circles. 11:38.874 --> 11:40.756 [SPEAKER_00]: And then they just stick turns flying through it. 11:41.476 --> 11:47.019 [SPEAKER_02]: During these hunts, the sale-like door-selfins are used to herd the fish and make their bodies like big nets. 11:48.660 --> 11:57.645 [SPEAKER_02]: And this when you see the fence fully open and fish individual hunters will change colors indicating that they are taking their turn to spear inside the ball. 11:58.085 --> 12:02.028 [SPEAKER_02]: Don't worry a graph to each other that not run at the same time so they don't run into each other. 12:03.216 --> 12:21.384 [SPEAKER_02]: This helps run unwanted injuries during these basically events the benefit of having so many sailfish on the same ball comes from not only being able to control the direction and density of the show, but that one sailfish can benefit from a failed kill of another picking off in the injured fish from the attacks that weren't hopefully successful. 12:21.685 --> 12:22.105 [SPEAKER_00]: Gotcha. 12:22.485 --> 12:25.446 [SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, and they'll sit there and decimate a ball on it to these guys. 12:25.566 --> 12:26.887 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, we got a hundred of them, geez. 12:27.167 --> 12:28.948 [SPEAKER_02]: So this is what they use their sales to communicate. 12:29.089 --> 12:29.289 [SPEAKER_00]: Okay. 12:29.309 --> 12:32.671 [SPEAKER_02]: They literally stick them all up and they'll change in flash colors and they're really fish. 12:32.691 --> 12:36.134 [SPEAKER_02]: They can really flash like their patterns and all kinds of craziness. 12:36.374 --> 12:37.655 [SPEAKER_00]: Wow, to the sale, sale. 12:37.675 --> 12:37.875 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. 12:38.736 --> 12:39.717 [SPEAKER_00]: I didn't ever knew that before. 12:39.737 --> 12:42.059 [SPEAKER_02]: So that's why they have giant eyes and they're looking at each other. 12:42.179 --> 12:42.459 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 12:42.479 --> 12:44.981 [SPEAKER_02]: So they're all talking the constantly watching for each other. 12:45.001 --> 12:47.083 [SPEAKER_02]: They talk about this in other fish like the Strait Marlin. 12:47.163 --> 12:49.404 [SPEAKER_02]: We did that where they talk in stripes of their colors. 12:49.805 --> 12:53.548 [SPEAKER_02]: And even like potato groupers and giant Pacific octopus. 12:54.388 --> 12:55.409 [SPEAKER_02]: Or they talk in colors. 12:55.729 --> 12:55.930 [SPEAKER_02]: Right. 12:56.570 --> 13:10.924 [SPEAKER_02]: So this is another getting back to animal communications where it's like when we start looking for alien life out in the universe or whatever, how hard it actually is because we can't even ID like it just recently, we could ID that a lot of fish species communicate in colors. 13:12.125 --> 13:13.707 [SPEAKER_00]: It's not just verbal communication. 13:13.747 --> 13:16.349 [SPEAKER_02]: It's all alien concepts to us, you know, you can you can 13:20.736 --> 13:31.917 [SPEAKER_00]: which we can't we just don't do it it's just when we do it a little bit you know I mean we're talking to them within the you know when you're read your man but they also change color based upon their mood behaviors and intentions 13:32.838 --> 13:33.218 [SPEAKER_00]: Ooh. 13:33.579 --> 13:35.401 [SPEAKER_02]: So they can change the main color of their body, too. 13:35.521 --> 13:35.781 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. 13:35.801 --> 13:39.505 [SPEAKER_02]: See how fish broadcaster removes by changing the skin color they have. 13:40.066 --> 13:45.191 [SPEAKER_02]: Not just when they're hunting food, but when they are witnessing darkening up as it prepare for attacking prep. 13:45.692 --> 13:47.594 [SPEAKER_02]: But they can also change to a copper bronze color. 13:47.914 --> 13:49.076 [SPEAKER_02]: They can change the neon blues. 13:49.316 --> 13:50.197 [SPEAKER_02]: They can change to purple. 13:50.858 --> 13:54.301 [SPEAKER_02]: And their skins, or when they're tired or excited. 13:55.063 --> 13:56.525 [SPEAKER_02]: It is controlled by their nervous system. 13:57.205 --> 14:03.632 [SPEAKER_02]: Exactly why they change color is deliver or still being, you know, argued by experts, but most agree it's a physiological change. 14:03.732 --> 14:06.495 [SPEAKER_02]: Similar to humans can go from pink when embarrassed. 14:07.015 --> 14:07.616 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 14:07.656 --> 14:08.777 [SPEAKER_02]: So it's not controlled change. 14:08.917 --> 14:09.137 [SPEAKER_00]: Right. 14:09.157 --> 14:11.019 [SPEAKER_00]: I was going to say it's like a moodering basically. 14:11.039 --> 14:11.179 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. 14:11.960 --> 14:13.602 [SPEAKER_00]: There are swimming moodrings. 14:14.128 --> 14:20.152 [SPEAKER_02]: The next thing you've on a fact is they never stop moving, because they need to eat so much every day they have to keep moving. 14:20.792 --> 14:26.536 [SPEAKER_02]: The epilogic fish occupy the upper layers of the ocean, open ocean and travel vast distances to find food. 14:27.036 --> 14:36.022 [SPEAKER_02]: They're extremely rigid and muscular, frame allows them to conserve and transfer as much energy as possible for long journeys, getting every ounce of thrust out of their powerful tails. 14:37.745 --> 14:53.038 [SPEAKER_02]: a female fish can lay four four point five million eggs that's a lot that's a lot of eggs a tremendous amount of caviar most of which is been eaten as eaten by planktonic feeders. 14:54.159 --> 15:02.026 [SPEAKER_02]: Those who do have to fight for their life cycle to reach maturity but their species of least concern it looks like enough of them are getting through. 15:03.007 --> 15:03.207 [SPEAKER_00]: Good. 15:03.768 --> 15:04.949 [SPEAKER_00]: I hope that's a true statement. 15:06.282 --> 15:19.172 [SPEAKER_02]: Lastly, you've on a fact where you can sail fish, fight back, because of their immense power and their elegance, the substances of humanity that strive to hunt these fish for sport. 15:20.053 --> 15:26.297 [SPEAKER_02]: When caught on the line, the sail fish instinctively leaves out of the water, calmly leaping, it's self-at the fishing boat. 15:27.438 --> 15:31.322 [SPEAKER_02]: And sometimes in pailing and slashing fishermen and crew to pieces in the process. 15:31.362 --> 15:32.003 [SPEAKER_00]: Oh my goodness. 15:32.123 --> 15:32.404 [SPEAKER_00]: Okay. 15:32.644 --> 15:34.766 [SPEAKER_02]: Marlin and sail fish and swordfish have been known to do this. 15:35.006 --> 15:41.734 [SPEAKER_02]: And unfortunately, if they're not soon killed after they land on the boat, they often die before returning to the water anyways. 15:41.954 --> 15:42.334 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. 15:42.775 --> 15:44.717 [SPEAKER_02]: This is when the fish when you catch them, you really can't release them. 15:44.817 --> 15:46.899 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, they're very vulnerable outside the water. 15:47.180 --> 15:48.521 [SPEAKER_02]: When they're exhausted in these events, 15:49.422 --> 15:56.006 [SPEAKER_02]: even if a sample from marine biological purpose, the rate of post-mortem release of the fish is often 75% or more. 15:56.606 --> 15:57.167 [SPEAKER_00]: So not good. 15:57.447 --> 16:02.930 [SPEAKER_02]: Even like they're saying even a biologist never takes about the water, he pulls them 75% of them are going to die. 16:02.970 --> 16:04.531 [SPEAKER_02]: It's very similar to what we talked about with Muskie. 16:04.551 --> 16:05.311 [SPEAKER_02]: Muskie? 16:05.491 --> 16:05.671 [SPEAKER_02]: Yep. 16:05.772 --> 16:07.653 [SPEAKER_02]: They put so much energy into the fight. 16:07.773 --> 16:08.533 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, getting away. 16:08.693 --> 16:10.114 [SPEAKER_02]: That they're going to die. 16:10.414 --> 16:11.555 [SPEAKER_02]: They lack a massive build up. 16:11.575 --> 16:12.375 [SPEAKER_02]: They can't get rid of it. 16:13.636 --> 16:14.016 [SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, these 16:15.696 --> 16:16.457 [SPEAKER_00]: I didn't know that. 16:16.777 --> 16:17.538 [SPEAKER_00]: Just from fishin' on. 16:17.738 --> 16:17.919 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 16:17.939 --> 16:31.374 [SPEAKER_02]: I don't want to advise anybody to look up the videos, but there are videos of them getting into boats and like, oh gosh, there's one, there's like a mount, a replica mount, and Florida of a sailfish pinning a guy to a chair. 16:32.355 --> 16:33.397 [SPEAKER_00]: Oh my gosh. 16:34.427 --> 16:35.167 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's scary. 16:35.848 --> 16:37.068 [SPEAKER_00]: A fish that fights back. 16:37.928 --> 16:41.870 [SPEAKER_02]: So they were like, they weren't you when you ever watch the fishing shows, and they're like, they're the sling good slack. 16:41.910 --> 16:43.391 [SPEAKER_02]: They're like, well, it's actually can't examine. 16:43.811 --> 16:44.211 [SPEAKER_00]: Oh God. 16:44.231 --> 16:46.892 [SPEAKER_00]: I just turned the boat and then jumped that at, wow, that's crazy. 16:47.533 --> 16:50.014 [SPEAKER_00]: Hey, I went, but I'm down for, I would love to fish for one. 16:50.034 --> 16:53.095 [SPEAKER_00]: I'd love to get one on the line just because that has to be the ultimate fight. 16:53.917 --> 16:56.418 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I think they're bigger cousins is probably the ultimate fight. 16:56.618 --> 16:57.018 [SPEAKER_00]: What's that? 16:57.498 --> 16:57.858 [SPEAKER_02]: Marlins. 16:58.438 --> 16:58.758 [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, okay. 16:59.118 --> 17:01.599 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, they get 2 to 3,000 pounds. 17:01.979 --> 17:02.259 [SPEAKER_00]: Okay. 17:02.379 --> 17:03.439 [SPEAKER_00]: I didn't know which one was bigger. 17:03.479 --> 17:04.239 [SPEAKER_02]: Like black marlins. 17:04.259 --> 17:05.660 [SPEAKER_02]: I believe are the biggest big boys. 17:05.780 --> 17:06.020 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. 17:06.060 --> 17:07.680 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, but they're in the deep ocean. 17:07.900 --> 17:08.160 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. 17:08.520 --> 17:10.421 [SPEAKER_00]: Like either of any of them from that family. 17:10.441 --> 17:11.201 [SPEAKER_00]: I would love to catch. 17:11.441 --> 17:11.601 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 17:11.621 --> 17:16.102 [SPEAKER_02]: So that's the kind of the differences in them is the sale fish are much more on the top of the surface. 17:16.482 --> 17:16.862 [SPEAKER_00]: Gotcha. 17:16.882 --> 17:17.843 [SPEAKER_00]: They don't die very deep. 17:18.103 --> 17:18.883 [SPEAKER_00]: Be cool to get one. 17:18.923 --> 17:23.384 [SPEAKER_00]: You have its beak made into a sword or something or some kind of spear tip. 17:24.405 --> 17:25.367 [SPEAKER_00]: for one big foot. 17:25.387 --> 17:26.248 [SPEAKER_02]: There you go. 17:27.310 --> 17:28.472 [SPEAKER_02]: Any questions about the sale fish? 17:29.513 --> 17:30.635 [SPEAKER_00]: No, these are pretty interesting. 17:30.735 --> 17:34.281 [SPEAKER_00]: They're very the color flushing was the pre-key fauna fact. 17:34.321 --> 17:35.242 [SPEAKER_00]: I had no idea about it. 17:35.262 --> 17:38.127 [SPEAKER_02]: They're definitely the most social of all of the bellfish. 17:38.187 --> 17:38.788 [SPEAKER_02]: Who would have thunk? 17:40.094 --> 17:41.655 [SPEAKER_02]: And Bill Fish aren't can be very social. 17:41.675 --> 17:48.678 [SPEAKER_02]: The bigger your Titans really aren't, you're two giant species of Marlin really aren't, but like Stripe Marlins, we've probably not episode on. 17:48.839 --> 17:49.419 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 17:49.459 --> 17:54.762 [SPEAKER_02]: They're very social, but the sale fish is the most social being seen in hundreds at the time communicating. 17:54.922 --> 17:55.522 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's wild. 17:55.542 --> 17:57.943 [SPEAKER_00]: That'd be cool to be at that area. 17:58.503 --> 17:59.024 [SPEAKER_00]: And no, we shouldn't. 17:59.044 --> 18:01.165 [SPEAKER_00]: They're like just swimming around a big stabbing chair. 18:01.245 --> 18:02.005 [SPEAKER_00]: Swarm a fish. 18:02.766 --> 18:05.027 [SPEAKER_02]: I've seen them stab seals and sharks on accident. 18:05.327 --> 18:05.747 [SPEAKER_00]: Oh my gosh. 18:05.767 --> 18:07.488 [SPEAKER_02]: Because they get involved in their bait balls. 18:07.608 --> 18:07.868 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 18:08.028 --> 18:09.249 [SPEAKER_02]: And they're not in communication. 18:09.592 --> 18:11.514 [SPEAKER_00]: So they just come flying in and they'll just seal there. 18:11.654 --> 18:14.296 [SPEAKER_02]: 40 miles an hour and just run into you with a sword. 18:14.456 --> 18:16.177 [SPEAKER_00]: It's like a night jousting. 18:16.517 --> 18:16.698 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 18:17.358 --> 18:19.139 [SPEAKER_02]: Well, I've been the great and peaceful mystery. 18:19.360 --> 18:20.661 [SPEAKER_00]: And I've been Jay. 18:21.261 --> 18:23.343 [SPEAKER_02]: We hope you guys have a fantastic weekend. 18:23.763 --> 18:24.223 [SPEAKER_00]: Enjoy. 18:24.504 --> 18:24.984 [SPEAKER_02]: Bye. 18:25.204 --> 18:25.785 [SPEAKER_00]: Bye. 18:26.865 --> 18:29.548 [SPEAKER_00]: Thank you for listening to Freaky Fat on the Friday. 18:30.909 --> 18:36.373 [SPEAKER_00]: If you want to help the podcast grow,
