Tropical Attitude

The common dolphinfish is known by many aliases, including Dorado and Mahi Mahi. This species is beautifully colored – typically bright, blue, green, and gold, almost cartoon-like. It lives in tropical latitudes all around the world and is a favorite target of both sport and commercial fisheries throughout its range.

The common dolphinfish is an open ocean predator that eats small fishes, squids, and pelagic crustaceans. It is also an important prey species for sharks, billfishes, and other large predators. Therefore, much like the skipjack tuna, the common dolphinfish plays a vital intermediate role in open ocean food webs. The males are larger than females and reach lengths of 6.5 feet (2 m) but weights of only 88 pounds (40 kg). Common dolphinfish are excellent swimmers and are known for their ability to capture flyingfishes, their favorite prey. This species’ large, broad forehead is used as an attachment site for the strong muscles that run the length of the body.

Common dolphinfish are extremely fast growing and reach sexual maturity in only 3-4 months. In that span, they grow from nearly microscopic larvae to a foot and a half (45 cm) long and a few pounds. They reproduce through a behavior known as broadcast spawning, where several females release eggs and several males release sperm into the water column, all at the same time. This method increases the likelihood that eggs will become successfully fertilized and that fertilized eggs will not be eaten by egg predators. Throughout a female’s lifetime, she produces millions of eggs, and like with most fishes, older females produce exponentially more eggs than young females and are therefore some of the most important spawners. As common dolphinfish spend most of the year in warm water, spawning occurs intermittently throughout the year.

Como ustedes saben amo el clima tropical 🌴y la moda que lo acompaña. Desde faldas, pantalones,rompers, trajesitos cortos, bikinis 👙, etc...⁣
⁣
Si tuviera que definirme en un solo estilo, les soy bien honesta no sabría cuál sería 🤔ya que también me encantan los pantalones de vestir largos, trajes de encaje y colores básicos 🟤⚪️⚫️. Soy como una mezcla de Tropical/minimalist/urban chic si eso hace algún tipo de sentido 🤪. ⁣

¿Como defines tu estilo: boho, fashion, preppy, romántico? Lxs leo 👀⁣

Took a few days for R&R with my parents ( 📷 cred to my mom) and it was MUCH NEEDED. It’s the small moments during a global pandemic that allow us to be utterly grateful for what we have ❤️

Hospitality, service and cleanliness was at 100 at viceroychicago . Highly recommend for a staycation for pool lovers like me 🔥

Also, this swimsuit was snug on me on my trip earlier this year in Jamaica and I’m so comfortable in it now! 2020 can have its ups!

And just like that we’re home. Those two weeks went past so quickly but it was one of the nicest holidays we have had. Mauritius is utterly beautiful, full of happy, friendly people and with so much history and culture. I’m so glad we made the trip.

I’m now spending a couple of days getting up straight with work and then the summer holiday fun will continue. So, what have I missed whilst I’ve been away? ...

It is easy to see where the Atlantic goliath grouper gets its name. Reaching lengths of at least 8 feet (2.5 m) and weights up to 700 pounds (320 kg), this species is one of the largest predators on coral reefs and along mangrove forests in the Atlantic Ocean and one of the largest groupers in the world.

The Atlantic goliath grouper, like most groupers, is an ambush predator and eats fairly large fishes and invertebrates and even small sharks. Reefs with large numbers of predators, like Atlantic goliath groupers, are known to be healthier than reefs with no predators, so this species may represent an important part of the reef food web. Atlantic goliath groupers feed by swallowing their prey whole; they do not chew. They use their very large mouths to create enough negative pressure to suck in whole fishes or large invertebrates, and they swallow them quickly and efficiently.

Throughout most of the year, low numbers of Atlantic goliath groupers are observed in any one place. They are at the top of their food web and are therefore naturally rare. However, during reproduction (immediately after the full moons between June and December), they come together in groups of at least 100 individuals. These groups are known as spawning aggregations, and they form at relatively few places throughout the species’ range. Individual Atlantic goliath grouper likely travel many miles to reach their preferred spawning sites and form part of the spawning aggregation. At these sites, the groupers reproduce by a method known as broadcast spawning, where females release eggs and several males release sperm into the water column above deep reefs all at the same time. This method increases the likelihood that eggs will become successfully fertilized and that fertilized eggs will not be eaten by egg predators on the reef surface.

Toad!! Work in progress. It’s been challenging and fun to design such a long skinny piece. Now that I painted this guy, I keep envisioning a cosmic toad. Maybe that’s next series... Cosmic Animals of Montezuma?😉 🐸 🌟 ...
