Fishin’ Frenzy: The Ocean’s Daily Rhythm 01.12.2025
The ocean pulses with a natural rhythm, shaped by predictable daily and seasonal cycles. Fish migration, feeding, and breeding are synchronized with lunar tides, temperature shifts, and daylight changes. For example, many species spawn during specific moon phases and water temperatures, ensuring larvae develop in optimal conditions. Tides drive the movement of nutrients and prey, influencing where and when fish gather. These cycles create a finely tuned ecological ballet—one that ancient and modern fishers alike have learned to navigate.
