Description: The Napoleon Wrasse, also known as Napoleon Fish or Humphead Wrasse, is an imposing marine creature that inhabits the waters of the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean. Measuring over two meters in length and with its distinctive appearance, it is a captivating subject for underwater photographers and divers. However, this species is highly endangered due to intense overfishing driven by the demand for its delicious flesh. The use of cyanide in capturing the Napoleon Wrasse has devastating effects on the entire ecosystem of the coral reef. It is therefore crucial to take action to protect this impressive species.
