We share information here with our visitors, visitors that come to the island and also visitors that we connect with virtually and we share information about all kinds of fishes, that includes the flying fish. HOST: Well let’s dive into the Octonauts team adventure with the school of flying fish and the professor’s book! Tina, does your job involve flying fish at all?


I really enjoy learning new things about the ocean, I love to be at sea out on the ocean, especially at night and like Shellington I am easily distracted by learning new things.īRIAN JONES: My job is most like Peso’s, I tend to look out for the health of the animals in our aquarium. TINA MILLER-WAY: They are such fun characters, but I think I am like Shellington. I would love for both of you to explain which Octonauts’ job do you have? Are you a researcher like Shellington, an oceanographer like Inkling, a systems analyst like Dashi, a leader like Barnacles. HOST: Well, we are really lucky to have both of you here with us today. Not only do we take care of the fish, crabs, turtles, and frogs in our facility, but we also interact with the visitors who are eager to learn more about our local habitats and the great animals that live here. I lead a fantastic team of animal care experts at our public aquarium. Hopefully they will understand how important it is to all of us, not just the folk that live nearby and help to take care of it by studying it, helping to solve problems or just by sharing what they learn with others.īRIAN JONES: Hi there, thanks for having us. Yes, here at the lab I help people of all ages, but especially young people, learn about the ocean. TINA MILLER-WAY: Thank you for having us, we appreciate it. Tina is the Chair of the Discovery Hall Programs for Education and Outreach and Brian is the Aquarium Curator.Īnd they are both here to share with us to share a little bit about what they do! Thank you for being here Tina and Brian! Can you tell us more about your roles at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab? The Dauphin Island Sea Lab has over 80 types of fish at their education-based public aquarium. The island was named for the french king who settled the area at the beginning of its European history.

While there are lots and lots of dolphins in the waters around the Sea Lab, the lab actually gets its name from the island that it sits on. The sea lab sits on an island and is surrounded by Mobile Bay, Mississippi Sound and the Gulf of Mexico. Our guests today are here to answer all of our questions about flying fish! Here with us are Tina Miller-Way and Brian Jones from Dauphin Island Sea Lab in Alabama. Flying fish often travel throughout the warm waters in our ocean in groups called schools and their diet is mainly made of different types of plankton. This jumping behavior is thought to help the fish avoid ocean predators like tuna or swordfish. Flying fish are known to swim near the surface water and are able to quickly jump out of the water. The fish in episode 5 that accidentally take the Professor's waterproof bag are a type of flying fish. Now, Before we begin our chat, let’s set the stage for today’s deep dive. Can they get it back in time before the school of flying fish fly away? Well, let’s find out. When a school of flying fish accidentally make off with a rare book belonging to Professor Inkling, the Octonauts rig up the Gup-B to fly after them. Today, I’m your host, Gabrielle Corradino. Today, we’re talking about Episode 5 - The Flying Fish. This podcast is hosted by NOAA’s Office of Education and the Coastal Ecosystem Learning Center Network.
