The tete sea catfish is listed from Mexico to Peru in the coastal waters of the Pacific coast. It is characterized by large eyes useful for hunting its prey (crustaceans, fish) and escaping from its predators. These territorial fish are among the few species of catfish adapted to marine life.

Atherina presbyter lives in the cold and temperate waters of the Atlantic coast. It is listed from the North Sea to the Mediterranean Sea and along the Saharan coasts of Africa. It forms large shoals near the shore, moving closer to the bottom at night in search of planktonic prey. This species undergoes seasonal migrations for reproduction.

The zebra loach is endemic to the Krishna River basin in India. Its populations are declining, mainly due to pollution and deforestation. Loaches play a central role in ecosystem balance by naturally regulating populations of freshwater snails.

Carcharhinus falciformis, known as the silky shark, is widely distributed in tropical and subtropical seas. However, this species is threatened due to overfishing, and is classified as vulnerable by the IUCN. Recognizable by its elongated and slender body, gray back, and white belly, this fast and aggressive predator feeds on fish, mollusks, and crustaceans.

The bull shark is listed in most tropical and subtropical seas. It is feared due to its propensity to attack humans, being responsible for most recorded fatal attacks to date. This active predator primarily hunts in murky waters. It is capable of swimming long distances and adapts to changes in salinity, frequenting estuaries, coves along the coasts, and waters with high turbidity.
