Flippers in fish, also known as fins, are used primarily for stability and maneuvering. The pectoral fin can help fish dive, climb, turn left or right as well as back up. The pelvic fins help the fish maintain an upright position while swimming and the tail fin is responsible for forward movement and speed.
