Giant Moray (Gymnothorax javanicus)

Description
Description

The Giant moray (Gymnothorax javanicus) compliments the roving coral grouper by participating in cooperative hunting. Adult giant moray spot leopard-related spots behind the head. This is the largest moray in terms of body mass, having its elongated body in a brown hue. Interestingly, the heavy body set does not inhibit its flexibility and ease of movement. The fish fit into the family Muraenidae, preferring coral shoals of Indo-Pacific zones. It possesses a pleasant sense of smell but poor eyesight. The fish travels several miles to breed and during this stage, it uses its accumulated body fat and muscle tissues instead of feeding.

Dimensions & Sizes
Dimensions & Sizes

Giant Morays have a total length between 5.92’-9.83’ (1.8-3 m) and body height of 5.9”-8.7” (15-22 cm). The typical weight of the Giant Moray is in the range of 66-79 lb (30-36 kg). Giant Morays have lifespans between 10-30 years.

Where do eels live?
Eels live in both freshwater and saltwater bodies of water, but the majority of the species typically live at sea. The habitat of eels generally consists of shallow waters as they prefer to burrow into the sand, mud, or rocks. Some species of eels are more at home within the continental shelves.
What do eels eat?
Typically, eels eat a variety of fish, crustaceans, and mollusks. Eels generally follow a carnivorous diet. Eels can eat almost any marine creature that is smaller than they are thus creating a diverse diet. The diet of eels is made up of sea urchins, crabs, shrimp, lobsters, frogs, krill, worms, and clams.
How do eels reproduce?
Eels reproduce through the process of external fertilization as the female eel release millions of eggs into the water to be fertilized by the male’s sperm. Eels, unfortunately, die after the reproduction and mating process. The reproduction process of eels has been considered a mystery for years.

What is the largest bony fish?
The largest bony fish is a female Mola alexandrine that was caught on the Japanese coast of Kamogwa, Chiba in 1996. The fish has a total weight of 2,300 kilograms and a height of 2.72 meters. It is currently the heaviest bony fish ever recorded in history.
When did bony fish first appear?
Bony fish first appeared between 530 to 410 million years ago during the Cambrian explosion. The first bony fish did not have jaws and had a primitive spinal column. It is believed that the first bony fish appeared along with the placoderms, who were the first jawed fish that evolved from their gill arches.
How do Osteichthyes reproduce?
Osteichthyes mostly reproduce through the sperm and eggs that are developed by male and female Osteichthyes. Some Osteichthyes are hermaphrodites and can produce both sperm and eggs. Male and female Osteichthyes may at times look similar or different due to their size, color, head characteristics, and overall body shape.

What do fish eat?
The diet of fish is very diverse as the number of fish species is very large. Some fish are carnivores, while other species of fish are herbivores or omnivores. Fish generally eat small organisms, algae, and sometimes can even eat other fish. The food that fish eat depends on their species, size, and environment.
How long do fish live?
The lifespan of a fish usually depends on the species. A fish may live anywhere between a year to 200 years – it all depends on the species of fish. The lifespan of a fish typically depends on their size, species, and whether they live in the wild or captivity.
How do fish sleep?
Fish do not sleep in the same form and manner that land mammals sleep. Fish sleep by reducing their activity and metabolism while remaining alert to any potential danger. While sleeping some fish float in place, in a secure spot within the mud, or find a nest. During sleep, fish perform restorative functions.

What do marine animals need to survive?
Factors that marine animals need to survive include bioluminescence which is when animals make their own light and helps them communicate and scare predators. Constant light, pressure, temperature, and food are factors needed to remain stable and help marine animals evolve to survive. Marine animals that live within the deep sea can withstand the cold.
Why do we need to protect marine life?
Humans need to protect marine life because our actions and lifestyles have a direct impact on the ocean. We need to protect marine life and provide a safe and healthy environment that is not impacted by overfishing, climate change, pollution, habitat destruction, invasive species, and other forms of human exploitation.
What is the most common animal in the ocean?
The most common animal in the ocean is the bristlemouth which is a vertebrate, an animal with a backbone. The bristlemouth is a tiny fish that can glow in the dark and has fangs that resemble needles. Bristlemouths are part of the 1 million species of animals that live in the ocean.

Why do animals live in coral reefs?
Animals live in coral reefs because this habitat provides warm water as well as an abundant food supply. The physical form of coral reefs has a lot of nooks and crannies that help fish hide from potential predators. Many small tropical fish typically live within coral reefs.
Can animals harm coral reefs?
Yes, animals can harm coral reefs if the predator populations can become too high, and thus corals can become devastated. Coral reefs can also be harmed through overheating causing them to dry out and overheat or become physiologically stressed which can lead to bleaching or death.
Is coral an animal or a plant?
A coral is an animal because they do not make its own food as a plant does. Corals have small tentacle-like arms that they use to capture their food from the water. Corals go through a unique process called symbiosis which benefits both animals and plant life.
