L.H. from Columbus, Ohio, wants to know
Why do fish Jump out of water?
A hungry trout might leap out of waterto snatch insects '
hovering near the surface. But it might take an airborne leap
k for a whole lot of other reasons, too.
Infact.fishenesscientistscan’texplam withcertamty
S' ) why fish jump. They do know that the answer usually
&
P
/ depends on the species of fish or the situation
Take salmon, fonnstance. They leap over logs, small dams
and other barriers as they migrate upstream. Salmon make
the yearly trek against a river’s flow to find a safe nesting
place for their eggs.
But flying fish —a kind offish that lives in the ocean —jump
because it’s quicker to move in the air. Water creates a lot of
resistance. By leaping above the surface, flying fish can glide 4
up to 100 feet. 1
Other fish jump out of the waterto escape predators. Fish
can’t sec beyond the surface of water very well. When a chased
fish leaps into thcair, the hungry fish momcntarilyloscssight
of its dinner and the jumping fish makes a quick getaway. ;
Sometimes, though, certain kinds of fish will jump into A
the air so they can descend on their prey from the surface.
Fish can feel other fish swimming near them. By jumping out
of the water, a hungry fish can use surprise to its advantage.
1 There are other speculations, too. Some scientists think ,
the jumping helps remove parasites that feed on the
fish’s scales. And, other people think some fish are \
