In perch, the tongue is a small, muscular structure that is not attached to the floor of the mouth like in many other fish. Instead, it is free and located at the front of the mouth, allowing for some mobility. This adaptation helps perch manipulate their food, primarily small prey. The tongue is also involved in the feeding process, aiding in the capture and manipulation of food items.
