Interesting Fish, Interesting Concept

The biodiversity that this world has to offer is impossible to fully comprehend. Always there is some animal that you have never seen before or even heard of, and some that no one has ever seen or heard of. While there are undoubtedly more creatures and organisms to be uncovered in the terrestrial world, the ocean, being vastly unexplored offers a much more promising yield in terms of new species discovery. This potential is one of the reasons why ocean habitat protection is so essential to the management of industries based on or under the ocean waters. Time and time again humans depend on marine products (organic or inorganic) as the source for medecine, makeup products, structural concepts, fuel, food... etc. the list goes on.


The Mercedez-Benz bionic car, whose shape/structure was inspired by the boxfish, is one of these examples. http://news.mongabay.com/2005/0710-DaimlerChrysler.html
