Reproduction: The Grey mullet uses a bubble 

nest, which is a nest of bubbles made from a 

secretion slit on its side, causing bubbles to

 form around their next. The male will usually 

make the bubble nest, and let the eggs float up to the nest, and wait for the eggs to 

hatch in about 24-48 hrs, while the female just lays then through external fertilization, 

and the male protects the fertilized eggs even from the female. The eggs also have a 

buoyancy that allow them to float to the surface, and contain an oily coating. 

Adaptations- Has two dorsal fins, the first is long with 4 spines and the second is a 

sail like shape, and both are used to maintain balance and aid in turns. They also have 

elongated bodies instead of stout bodies like other fish, for the purpose of movement, 

and not having extra body mass to move around with using excess energy, and 

instead require less food and energy for swift movement. Also the mullet takes on the 

favor of its surroundings or food source, so a mullet in muddy or polluted waters is 

often inedible and not preferred by predators depending on its location or 

environment. 

Flathead mullet or the grey mullet,  

Class:Actinopterygii

 Mugil cephalus 

Significance to environment- They eat algae

 and plankton, which both stops the overpopulation

 of the plankton, and algae bloom in their

 environment. They are also common prey for most other 

larger fish, and people, allowing other larger fish,

 crustaceans and even sharks to have a source 

of food.

Fish Blue Marlin, Makaira mazara

Rare fish that can be found year 

round near Bora Bora

Reproduction- The full grown female blue marlin

 release thousands of eggs that are usually one 

millimetre in diameter, and free float in the

 Atlantic, where they can grow up to 0.6 in. a 

day. Instead of protecting their young, they lay

 a countless number of eggs, creating a higher chance of a few of the fish surviving to 

adulthood. 

Adaptations- The blue marlin travels at very fast speeds, so it has its first two dorsal fins 

supported by several spines, and a strong, flexible skeleton. The female is also 4 times larger 

in mass and several inches to feet larger than the males, for reproductions strains and 

requirements. The bill is also long and stout, with a pointed tip, which is used for more 

intimidation against predators than actual offensive uses such as catching prey of fending off 

a predators. The blue marlin will also change its diet depending on its size, such as plankton 

when it first hatches and smaller fish or even small crustaceans or   squid as it grows into 

adulthood. 

Significance- The blue marlin is a higher tiered 

predator, and don’t have many natural enemies, but 

the largest sharks, and fishermen. They have a diet of 

other fish, crustaceans, squids, and sometimes 

vegetation.

The brazilian salamander, 

Bolitoglossa paraensis

Reproduction- The female brazilian

 salamander is typically larger than the male, 

to be able to reproduce. The female will 

fertilize the eggs before they are laid, 

internally, and will lay 8 to 14 eggs each time.

 The brazilian salamander doesn’t lay a 

countless amount of eggs and instead lays a few 

eggs that will be well cared for, and most should be able to survive to adulthood. 

Adaptations- The brazilian salamander, or any salamander requires an extremely moist environment for 

both water content or dehydration, and to breath. Salamanders are lungless, meaning they use other 

means to breathe and survive, through their skin or even the tissue in their mouth and throat, but can 

only do so, with a high amount of moisture. Most salamanders are also very slender, to be able to move 

swiftly from predators, and move through water. They will also stay under logs and leaves, like frogs and 

toads to keep from dehydrating. 

Significance- The salamander is a primary consumer, and eats mostly small plants, or algae, or even 

smaller animals, when grown to full size. They are also common prey for most predators and is a large 

source of food for the rest of its ecosystem.
