Are Fish Hiding From Us?

Are Fish Hiding From Us?

Well, no - but they might as well be. Scientists realized there are at least 10 times more fish in the ocean than we thought. The fish are hanging out in the “twilight zone” of the ocean, 500 - 3,200 feet below the waves. They come closer to the surface to eat, but they do it at night. So scientists used sonar - sending a sound through the water, and seeing if it bounces off fish - to estimate how many fish there were. That’s when they started uncovering some very fishy numbers!
