The Sea is Giving Birth!

Research output: Contribution to journalShort surveypeer-review

Abstract

In the Rosario Archipelago, on the Caribbean coast of Colombia, the island elders say that, every once in a while, “the sea gives birth”. Bundles of little white dots float towards the sea surface. No one has seen fish giving birth, but fishers suggest that these are fish eggs, because sometimesthey also find them inside the bodies of fish they have caught. None of the islanders can imagine that corals, like fish, can also give birth.
