Fish dominate the planet's waters through their astonishing variety of shapes and behaviour. The beautiful weedy sea dragon looks like a creature from a fairytale, while the sarcastic fringehead appears to turn its head inside out when it fights. Slow-motion cameras show flying fish gliding through the air and capture the world's fastest swimmer, the sailfish, plucking sardines from a shoal at 70 miles per hour. And the tiny Hawaiian goby undertakes one of nature's most daunting journeys, climbing a massive waterfall to find safe pools for breeding.
