Mudskippers are classified as fish because they belong to the family Gobiidae, which encompasses gobies, and they possess key fish characteristics, such as gills for breathing underwater and a backbone. Despite their ability to live on land for extended periods, they rely on water for reproduction and maintain aquatic respiration. Their unique adaptations, like the ability to move on land and breathe through their skin and the lining of their mouths, allow them to thrive in intertidal environments. However, these adaptations do not change their classification as fish.
