Many fish do have tongues, but they are bony protrusions in their mouth that don't serve the same function as ours do. They also aren't called 'tongues' but basihyals.

What are two animals that illustrate parasitism in the ocean?

Two examples of parasitism in the ocean are the parasitic isopod, Cymothoa exigua, and the oceanic lamprey. Cymothoa exigua attaches to the tongues of fish and eventually replaces the tongue, feeding on the host's blood. Oceanic lampreys, on the other hand, latch onto fish and use their toothy, suction-cup mouths to feed on their host's blood and bodily fluids, often leading to severe harm or death for the fish.
