Leviathan among sharks, a whale shark (Rhincodon typus) gains on its small prey in the Indian Ocean off the coast of western Australia. About the length of a large bus, whale sharks are the largest fish in the world. But with 300 rows of tiny—and useless—teeth, this filter-feeder is a gentle giant.

Moving as one, a school of sweetlips explores the waters of Australia's Great Barrier Reef. Sweetlips are often accompanied by the cleaner wrasse, a fish that grooms them and keeps their skin and mouths free of infection-causing parasites.

In an apparent moment of solitude and safety, a Galápagos penguin forages in the waters off the South American islands. But danger abounds for this small creature, whose population has been reduced to less than a thousand breeding pairs throughout the archipelago. Predators such as sharks and hawks kill the penguins. Temperature-driven food shortages starve adults. And human hazards—habitat disturbance and destruction, discarded waste from tourists and fishermen, and dangerous fishing nets—are pushing the creatures closer to extinction.

The rush is on for silky sharks (Carcharhinus falciformis) and yellowtail snappers (Ocyurus chrysurus) to get their share of food tossed out of a dive boat into Cuba's coastal waters. Aggressive and considered dangerous to humans, the silky shark is nevertheless fished for human consumption. Its meat is eaten fresh or salted. Its skin is processed for leather. The fins are sold in the Asian shark-fin trade, and its liver—high in vitamin A—is extracted for medicinal liver oil.

Awash in a sea of blue, a school of unicorn fish—named for the mystical creature whose horn they mimic—swims toward the water's surface in the Seychelles. Unicorn fish are generally nonaggressive, but during a rare fight they defend themselves with forward-pointing prongs on either side of their tails rather than the prominent horn on their heads.

A redfin butterflyfish navigates the coral of Fiji's Vatu-i-ra Channel. This waterway, which separates Fiji's two biggest islands, is home to an immense variety of fish living amid some 2,500 square miles (6,500 square kilometers) of reefs and submerged plateaus. Conservationists are seeking to protect the region by winning its designation as a UNESCO World Heritage Seascape.
