Spinefish

Small, school-mentality prey fish, closely related to the hoopfish. 1. Grey Coloration: A combination of near translucent flesh with white, rib-like markings gives this fish a deathly appearance. It takes advantage of this to avoid the attention of its predators. 2. Behavior: Moves in schools for protection, but will disperse and flee if necessary, whereon those fortunate enough to escape the gaze of their assailants will make for the sea floor and hide amongst the detritus. Assessment: Edible (low calorie count)
