Why Do Fish Bound over the Water's Surface?

Many fish like jumping out of the water. Different fishes have different jumping capabilities. There is a kind of "jumping fish″ that can jump five to six metres out of the water' surface. They are really the "champion high jumpers' of all the fishes.

There are several reasons for fish to jump out of water. Some fish do it to stay away from or scare away the enemy; some fish simply enjoy jumping; and sometimes fish bound over the water surface because there are too many fish and too little air in the water during hot and suffocating weather.
