Tuna get oxygen through ram ventilation, which means that they swim rapidly in order to have water/oxygen move across their gills. If they stop swimming, they will suffoctate. Therefore, they need to swim even while they are sleeping!

∙ 13y agoWhen fish sleep the part of there brains that control motor functions stay awake which allows them to sleep while still move and allow water to flow through their gills to get oxygen. Also, fish regulate their depth with what is called a swim bladder that alters their depth, this also is controlled by the same part of the brain.

Do Snails float when they are dead like fish?
Yes. Just like we would if we died in waterTheir corpses become bloated with decomposition gases and this causes them to float, much like a balloon would. And because muscle mass is much denser in a fish's back, this tends to turn the fish upside down.If they are on their side, yes. It is unusual for a fish to just float to the top of the water and stay there for awhile. It is their instinct to keep swimming around more towards the bottom of the water, unless food is thrown onto the top of the water.
