Tend to use Grazing, suspension feeding and filter feeding. ambush predation

# data[].attributes.body
Coal reefs in lagoons, on reef flats, protected seaward reefs and in coastal muddy or sandy habitats.

# data[].attributes.body
- Bulbous heads and Globular shaped bodies -> which increases drag
- Swim exclusively with their pectoral fins accompanied by dorsal and caudal fin oscillation up to speeds of 3.0 BL s−1
- Truncated tail and fins

# data[].attributes.body
- rounded fins
- grow up to 45-48 cm and found in coral reefs and seaweed reefs
- feeds on minute algae, sponges, polychete worms and small crustacea and fish which the Cowfish unearths by blowing jets of water into the sand
-when the fish is threatened it will exude a deadly toxin called Ostracitoxin which repels predators

Decreased aspect ratio of tail
= More manoeuvrability

# data[].attributes.body
More surface area
= More drag
= Decreased acceleration
= Increased manoeuvrability
e.g. (Slowest) Rounded, Truncate

# data[].attributes.body
- Disc shaped = More drag + Less speed, but allows for fish to turn more rapidly

# data[].attributes.body
Tend to be Pursuit Predators.
These are predators that actively give chase to their prey. This means that they require more speed and acceleration, as well as be able to sustain swimming at these constant speed.

# data[].attributes.body
Open waters with strong currents.
Having a BCF swimming type means utilisation of body and caudal fin driven motion allows more speed, thrust and control, for constant and effective swimming  in these currents.

# data[].attributes.body
Increased aspect ratio of tail
= Less drag
= More sustained speed
e.g. (Fastest) Heterocercal, Lunated, Forked

# data[].attributes.body
Less surface area
= Less drag
= Increased acceleration
= Decreased manoeuvrability
e.g. (Fastest) Lunate, Forked, Emarginate

# data[].attributes.body
- uses oscillation of dorsal fins to generate movement. Move at 152cm/hr

Feeding Habits
- Feed on anything near them suspension feeding and ambush predation

Environment
- Live in  sheltered and tight spaces like sea grass, coral reefs and mangrove. Require less speed and more maneuverability.

# data[].attributes.body
Atlantic pollock - elongated body, deep green with a pale lateral line and a pale belly. It has a small chin barbel and, like the cod, has three dorsal and two anal fins
Feeding habits - pursuit foraging
Habitat - Near ocean floor over a wide variety of ocean bottom habitats including sand, mud, rocks, and vegetation

# data[].attributes.body
Environment:
- Coral Reefs, where it is necessary to maneuver around to escape predators and hide from them

Feeding habits:
- Graze on a variety of foods, including algae, invertebrates and corals

# data[].attributes.body
- Flat and use undulatory fin motion of pectoral fins
Feeding habits
- Filter feeders and feed on plankton and organic matter in the water
-  Since they are filter feeders, they need to swim a certain speed to generate currents to move water through their mouth

Environment
2 types of manta rays
- Oceanic manta rays live in open ocean and large migrations. Larger pectoral fins to generate stronger force and speed.
- Reef mantas live near reefs and rarely migrate. Have smaller fins to allow more maneuverability to navigate complex habitat.

# data[].attributes.body
- More streamlined = Less drag + More speed

# data[].attributes.body
Pike fish - elongated body, forked fin
Feeding habits- ambush foraging
Habitat - found in freshwater vegetated lakes

# data[].attributes.body
(Slower Than BCF in general)
Uses median and pectoral fin for movement
- oscillatory movement of flapping of fins
- Undulatory wave movement of fins
- Typically used by fishes in complex and tight environments (eg. reefs, seagrass)

# data[].attributes.body
(Faster than MPF in general)
In undulation, a wave of contractions from head to tail.
- Tail swings back and forth
- Strength and amplitude of contraction increases toward tail
