Description
Scribbled Leatherjacket (also called scrawled filefish). In latin Aluterus Scriptus.
This fish is diurnal and is demersal. It is solitary and shy, and is rarely seen with other fish.
Photographed in the Red Sea.
Every detail in the cellular and chemical makeup of the corals we know today is designed to keep not just their own species thriving, but their entire habitat in balance. This is because nature is a problem-solver. For the last 3.8 billion years, life has survived through several mass extinctions, leaving us the blueprints for enduring global calamities. And at the heart of all life, from its very origins to today’s biggest challenges, is the ocean. There isn’t a living system on Earth that doesn’t depend on either the ocean’s abundance or its ability to regulate our climate. Yet marine research and its application to our climate crisis is consistently underfunded, undermining even our best efforts to restore our planet.
