Support It's great that you can see the bubbles coming from the gills. --Christoph Michels 16:47, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Actually "bubbles from the gills" does not make much sense. Does anyone has a better explanation for the bubbles? --Christoph Michels 16:51, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support Those aren't bubbles, they're grains of sand. The gurnard often rests on the sandy bottom with its pectoral "wings" folded up. When danger approaches, they will quickly spread the wings and "fly" away. It's likely, this photographer approached the stationary gunnard and then snapped the shot as it was scarred away trailing sand behind it. --Jnpet 10:17, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
