No. If all the fish died, there would be no fish. Some fish unlucky enough to be too close, however, may die.
No. The water conducts the current to earth and the fish are not harmed.
because lightning atracts metal. so if lightning strikes your umbrella and you are touching the metal you may DIE.
Some fish actually do die, if they are unfortunate to swim near where the lightning strikes. However, the electricity from the bolt of lightning is dispersed through the water only over a short distance. When lightning strikes the ocean, there is not enough electric current to lethally charge the worlds water supply, so most fish are safe. ----------- First of all, some fish do die. However the electricity dissipates (becomes weaker from the electricity spreading out) and there are a lot of fish in the oceans but there is so much water for them to be in. Have you heard the rumor that animals know when a storm is coming? A lot of them can tell by slight changes in the atmosphere such as pressure, temperature, and humidity. ---------- When water is struck, the power is transferred through millions of gallons of water to the ground and very limited amounts in comparison would affect fish. The fish may still feel a shock at a certain distance, especially due to their very sensitive lateral line, but it most likely would not cause any harm. --------- The short answer is that the effects of a lightning strike are very local, and anything outside the immediate range will be unharmed. -------- Since the lightning has to travel all the way to the ocean floor then the shock is not as strong as if the fish were in the air and the lightning struck them.
when lightning strikes a tree, the bolt goes down the trunk, and possibly can reach the center of the tree making the tree die. and then it leaves a BIG black spot on the tree where the bolt striked.
If there are any close to the point of impact, they may indeed die. Those further away will survive.
Before a lightning strike, a charge builds up along the water's surface. When lightning strikes, most of electrical charge occurs near the water's surface. Most fish swim below the surface and are unaffected.
Not much really. A few unhappy creatures who are too close to lightning strikes may die, but that's about it.

yes
Because the sea is deep. But some fish get zapped.
they swim at the bottom
It means that you got lucky u didn't die

Using a cell phone does not make you more vulnerable to lightning strikes, but an average of 60 people die each year from lightning strikes in the United States. The NOAA advises people to stay indoors, to not use electrical appliances and avoid bathing during lightning storms.
They don't. Some, real close to the strike point may well die. But those farther away will be just fine.

It is possible that the tree may die if it has suffered significant damage from the lightning strike. Trees can exhibit signs of distress such as wilting leaves, bark damage, and dieback. It is important to monitor the tree's health and consider consulting with an arborist to assess the extent of the damage and determine the best course of action.
