All fishes are adapted to live in water because they dont have lungs they have gills which means that lungs work with air and gills work with water. Have you ever thought does a fish dies when taken out of the water it is because gills are the only way a fish breathes through. Gills work when a current of water slide over them so when the fish is taken out of the water, the gills stop working because the current of water didnt slid over it.
Adaptation
Purpose
Examples
Mouth
Feeds throughout the water
Walleye, sauger, northern pike
Feeds on prey it sees below it; usually feeds off the lake or river bottom
Bullhead, whitefish, carp,sucker
Feeds on prey it sees above it; small fish, or aquatic insects, often at surface of water
Goldeye, rock bass, smallmouth bass, tullibee
Feeds off the bottom
Sturgeon
"Vacuums" up food off the bottom; eats aquatic insects, vegetation
Sucker, sturgeon
Feeds on other fish
Northern pike, walleye
Feeds off the bottom; Can sense food in murky water
Catfish, bullhead, stonecat, sturgeon
Eyes
Feeds by sight
Walleye, perch, goldeye, bass
Likely feeds off the bottom and relies on barbels to detect food
Catfish, bullhead, stonecat, sturgeon
Spines
For protection or to stiffen fins for swimming
Catfish, bullhead, stonecat, perch, walleye, bass, sturgeon
Body Shape
Feeds off or rests on the bottom; less conspicuous to predators
Sucker, catfish, sturgeon
Prefers more open water or a few weeds
Walleye
Fast-moving in quick bursts; Agile around rocks and weeds
Northern pike, burbot
Agile around rocks/weeds; round shape harder for predators to swallow
Bass, perch
Stream-lined for high speed or swimming in currents
Brook trout, rainbow trout, arctic char
Scales
Used for protection; speed not needed to catch food
Carp, sucker
Fish more streamlined and fast-moving to catch prey
Northern pike, catfish, burbot
Colouration
Swims in open water
Walleye, goldeye
Hides in weeds for protection or to ambush prey
Perch, smallmouth bass, rock bass
Hides in rocks or on bottom
Northern pike, young sturgeon
Less visible to predators above it
Catfish, sturgeon, carp
Less visible to predators below it
Perch, walleye, sturgeon, sucker, catfish

* This ques may need a spcecific fish, but heres some adaptations of a fish...: * A fish's gills * Its tail and fins.... * and remember if you find out wat is an adaptations of an animal,heres the definition: Bera Ankita, :):
no fish around

The pipefish is a slender, long-bodied fish. It has various adaptations to help it survive, such as its camouflage.
probably likely
Fee,Claws to climb trees, and for fish and other animals flippers and fins.
The clown fish is immune to the stings of its host Sea Anemone. There are even some fish species that are immune to the sting of jellyfish. These fish will actually swim along with jellyfish in hopes of getting a free meal. This is just one example of many species that have adapted to living with an otherwise dangerous animal.
long thin snouts to catch fish
i also don't no but just i am guessingthe animals are born in the ocean andlike if its shark so the shark will teachhis baby to swim etc
Some can swing from trees and some can camouflage. Their are tons of animals in the rainforest so the adaptations will vary by the the species.
some animals grow thick fur coats
all animals have to have adaptations in order to live. if an animal is living then it will always have adaptations
