The fish's nose, or nares, serves primarily for the sense of smell. Unlike mammals, fish use their nares to detect chemicals in the water, which helps them locate food, identify predators, and find mates. These sensory organs play a crucial role in their survival and behavior in aquatic environments. Additionally, the water that enters their nares passes over olfactory receptors, enhancing their ability to detect scents.
