The fish rises to the surface and then shoots out a stream of water precisely aimed to knock the insect off its perch into the water, where the archerfish gobbles it up. Scientists have measured the speed of the water stream exiting the fish’s mouth to be 3.7 m/s. An archerfish spots an insect sitting 19 cm above the waterline and a horizontal distance of 30 cm away.
