The Red Sea's exceptional fauna
The Red Sea has the dual distinction of being one of the seas least exposed to currents and, above all, the one with the highest salinity (35% higher than the average). As a result, the fauna that thrives here is unique, with many more rare fish than elsewhere. These include the world's fastest fish: the black marlin, at 109 km/h, and the Napoleon fish, which is unfortunately on the brink of extinction. It owes its nickname to the shape of its head, which is similar to that of the aforementioned emperor's crown. 1,200 other species can be observed in this unique place that is the Red Sea.
