![]() ![]() They are commonly found in large schools. Most are small fish, measuring from 0.8-10.4 in (2-15 cm) in length. Lantern fish (family Myctophidae) are one of the most important groups of midwater fishes, with some 250-300 species known. The eyes themselves are large with large lenses and pupils and highly sensitive retinas, suggesting that vision is an important sense for these species. Some species even have light organs on their tails the purpose of these is probably to act as false lures to potential predators. The former organs give off a twinkling effect as the animals swim, while the latter are far more powerful, effectively lighting up the area immediately ahead of the fish. In addition to a series of rows of light-producing organs along their sides (the pattern and number of which varies according to species), some lantern fish, such as those of the genus Diaphus, also have larger organs both in front of and underneath the eyes, rather like a miner's lamp. Each light organ, known as a photophore, is connected to the animal's nervous system which, perhaps together with some form of hormonal control, dictates the flashing sequence of these organs. In Disney California Adventure, Fluke and Rudder can be seen in a Finding Dory-inspired billboard at Pixar Pier telling visitors to keep Pixar Pier clean, along with some sea otters, Gerald, and Dory.Lantern fish are so called on account of the special light-producing organs that are found in their skin. Both Fluke and Rudder also changed all vehicle obstacles to sharks when selected. Rudder was made as a Disney Crossy Road toy that came with a token that could be scanned in-game to unlock the figurine. Fluke was the rare character for the Finding Dory weekend challenge, so he was unlocked by completing a certain amount of challenges in the weekend challenge. In the now-discontinued game Disney Crossy Road, both Fluke and Rudder appeared as playable characters, both with their own ways to unlock the character. Video Game Appearances Disney Crossy Road ![]() They witness the Tank Gang being taken by the humans before resuming their nap, unknowingly being stalked by Gerald, who gives a devious laugh.įluke and Rudder appear in this short film where they comment on Dory about her encounters with the residents of the Marine Life Institute, along with Destiny, Bailey, and Hank. They last appear after the end credits where they are sleeping again on their rock, briefly shooing off Gerald again when he attempts to gain entry on the rock. They next appear near the end as they watch the excitement of Dory saving her friends by vacating their rock (which is promptly taken over by Gerald) and despite not helping Dory, they are showered with fish (even being hit by a large one). When Marlin mentions that he and Nemo need water, they trick Gerald into giving up his pail by inviting him on their rock before promptly kicking and shooing him off. The sea lions help the clownfish get in the Institute by calling their loon friend, Becky, to fly them in there. Their discussion is interrupted by the arrival of Gerald, whom they shoo off. When the clownfish family asks them about the Institute, they tell them that it is a fish hospital, while describing their experiences there (Fluke with a nasal parasite, and Rudder having anemia). Fluke and Rudder first appear when Marlin and Nemo accidentally wake them up from their nap on their rock. ![]()
