Meet the sea robin, the underwater pedestrian. Triglidae, commonly known as sea robins, are bottom-feeding fish found in temperate and tropical seas worldwide. Their "legs" are not legs at all but thin, raised rays evolved into tentacle-like body parts separate from the pectoral fin, aiding in locomotion and prey detection on the sea floor. With specialized muscles and unique anatomy, sea robins navigate the ocean bottom with ease. They possess a specialized swim bladder producing a distinct protein sound when out of water, used for communication and predator deterrence. With broad, brightly colored pectoral fins resembling wings, sea robins glide over the water's surface, resembling small birds in flight.Sea robins, with their unique adaptations, contribute to marine biodiversity.
