Torpedo is commonly known as electric ray fish. It is a bottom dwelling carnivorous fish. A pair of electric organs (modified branchial muscles) are present for stunning the prey and can generate electric current. It produces electric shocks of $600$ volts.
Sucker fish is zoologically known as Echeneis. Globe fish is zoologically known as Tetradon. Sea horse is zoologically known as Hippocampus guttalatus. The fish swims upright in sea water. It exhibits sexual dimorphism. The male bears a broad pouch, in which the female lays eggs. Thus, parental care is performed by the male.
