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.
Threats & Conservation
IUCN Red List: Least Concern
Milkfish rely on a clean ocean to survive.
Keep the ocean free of debris and other pollutants!
