∙ 16y agoFins are present in a fish to help it swim in water i.e. fins help them to swiftly cut through the water currents. Fish have fins that are used for swimming, stability, and steering. The dorsal and anal fins keep the fish level in the water and keep it from rolling. The caudal fin helps propel the fish forward and steer. The pelvic fins help keep the fish level in the water. The pectoral fins help the fish steer and brake.
