Ancestor:Descendants:

The sardchovy replaced its ancestor, the seafin in the seas of Barlowe. With so many predators it had to quickly adapt. It now has a more streamlined shape and changed it diet to feed on he abundant plankton. They not only have eyes on both sides, but on each tail segment. Like its ancestors it still must come to the surface to breathe air. Unlike its ancestor they now give birth to live young instead of laying eggs. This helps young reach the surface faster. In addition they will travel in huge shoals. This is to help them deter and confuse predators. Since they need to breathe air they typically stick close to the surface. This is ok since the phytoplankton need to be near the surface too to get sunlight and in turn the zooplankton come up to eat them.
