It displaces 1 pound of water in terms of its mass, if you were to convert to volume, it is a simple conversion with any mass, water has a density of 1 meaning that 1kg of water takes up 1 litre of volume, so, a 1 pound fish roughly displaces 455mL of water.

Why do ships float when they are denser than water?
Quick and dirty answer: Because they are built to be essentially hollow, they are much larger in volume than the water they displace, and so in effect they are much less dense over all than the water they displace.
How much water must a ship displace in order to float?
An amount that weighs as much as the ship does.
What is it called when objects displace as much water as they weigh?
buoyancyAn object that displaces its own weight in water is said to be "floating".
How a ship keeps a float?
It basically wants to push (displace) water away from underneath it. Since the volume of water is always much larger than the actual ship, it will never be able to displace enough water to sink. That is - unless it's damaged below the water-line so water can flood in.
How would you find the density of an irregularly shaped object such as a rock?
Weight it. Find it's volume. (hint - how much water does it displace). Divide.
How does a 1.3 billion pound boat float?
It must displace as much weight in water as it weighs (roughly 600 cubic meters of water). These boats have huge hulls, so can easily displace this much without beginning to sink.
How much weight does your boat displace?
The Joke: Not much it sank The truth: A floating boat will displace the same weight in water that it weighs. So the real question is how much does it displace or how much does it weigh
How much water does a cubic foot of stryrofoam displace?

How much water must a ship displace in order to float?
An amount that weighs as much as the ship does.
Why is air displaced by water?
Air is displace by water because water is much denser than air and therefor is much harder to compress.
How much water does a large ship displace to float?
the weight of the ship is equal to the amount of water displaced
How much water does the titanic displace?
The Titanic displaced 52310 tons.

What are the negative aspects of hydroelectricity?
Changes both upstream and downstream habitat to both water and land Can displace people - sometimes 100,000s Can impact fish migration patterns Puts canyons under water and sometimes destroys recreation areas Much higher levels of water evaporation
