Atlantic Needlefish in Alexander Springs

Description:
You might not expect to see a saltwater fish in a more or less landlocked freshwater spring watershed, but it's one of the most common ocean invaders found in springs.Stories of attacks from Needlefish, as well as their cousin, the Houndfish, (Tylosurus crocodilus) abound, but the reality of a dangerous run-in is rare.Atlantic NeedlefishStrongylura marinaAlexander Springs Recreation AreaOcala National ForestLake County FloridaOlympus OM-D E-M514-42mm II LensPT-EP08 Underwater Housing, PPO-EP01 Lens Port & 14-42mm Zoom Gear
