Eamon Porter, Small fish of the sea (ANIMALS 2024)

While diving and photographing whale sharks in Western Australia I was suddenly surrounded by a large school of tiny fish that were being attacked by tuna, trevally and sharks from below as well as various seabirds from above. I found myself changing focus from the "Largest fish in the sea" to one of the smallest. Within minutes there was not a single one of these small fish left. The tuna, trevally, sharks and seabirds vanished as soon as the last of the small fish were eaten.
