Working on fishy facts on stream:

- Squid can fly in the air for 50 meters (half a football field)
- Normally seen flying near the surface of the water, potentially to avoid getting eaten by birds and to quickly repropel itself if needed.
- They form wings by spreading out the webs between their tentacles
- They might do this to escape predation, including from larger squids who eat juvenile squids, as larger squids can't fly as well.

- Don't be a sardine, all of the predators will gang up on you and ignore each other just to eat you.

- Indian oil sardine can form shoals of 3 miles long, moving in groups of billions of individuals.
- By moving in unison, they confuse predators.

- A French confectioner named Nicolas Appert invented canning.

- Scientific name: Sardinops sagax caeruleus
- Pacific Sardines eat Zooplankton and have a range from Southeast Alaska to Baja California.
- Have a size of up to 15 inches (38 cm)
- Pacific Sardines use visual cues and sensing organs called neuromasts to coordinate their movement with their neighbors.
- They use "safety in numbers" to deal with predation.
- Almost fished to commercial extinction until a moratorium on harvesting them was enforced from 1967 to 1986.

- I should really rely more on the Monterey Bay Aquarium more for fish facts; I took a long time looking for interesting sardine facts elsewhere without much luck.
- Mention INCREDIBLE SUCKERS for the squid exhibit, if we add one.

- Sea Nettle (Chrysaora fuscescens)
- Diet: Young pollock, larval fishes, zooplankton, other jellies
- Range: Coastal waters off Alaska to California, Japan, Kamchatka, the Aleutian Islands and the Bering Sea
- Sea nettle hunts prey by dragging their long tentacles which are covered with stinging cells to sting tiny animals. When the tentacles touch prey, the stinging cells paralyze it, move the prey to their mouth-arms, then finally to the mouth where it's digested.
- Some jellies move 3,600 feet (1,097 m) up and down the water column daily
- Larval and juvenile cancer crabs can hitch rides on the sea nettle's mouth-arms, possibly eating the arms before dropping off as the sea nettle approaches the shore.
- Did 3/6 Sea Nettle levels
TODO:
- Open Sea

- It's mentioned in the introductory dialog. I could also amend the introductory dialog to mention a different exhibit.
