Fish are mostly made of water, like us. However, they don't contain as much gas in their bodies as we do (oxygen in our blood, burrito gas in our stomachs, and air pockets in our ear canals.) Their bodily water pressure is at the same pressure as the water in their surroundings. If we were born and raised down there too, we'd probably be wondering how those creatures on the surface survive WITHOUT pressure! (Yes, we do have 14.7 psi of air pressure - and we'd be hurt if we suddenly had zero pressure, such as in space.)

How deeply a fish swims in the ocean?

Depends entirely on the type of fish. Some live their lives at a particular depth. Some use the ocean like an elevator - you might find them at 20 feet or 600 feet. Some are deep ocean oriented, and live in the eternal darkness of the deep.

What eats the barreleye fish?

The barreleye fish is a small fish that lives in the deep to medium-depth parts of the ocean. Because this fish is so small, almost everything eats it, including squid, sharks, and tuna.


How do fish adjust to the differences in the pressure from mid ocean to the surface?

They don't. Fish that live at a high depth stay there for as long as the live, as they would explode when pressure dropped. The same is true for fish that live high up in the ocean: they would implode when pressure rises.


What is the partial pressure of oxygen in the blood of a fish at a depth of 250 meters in the ocean?

The partial pressure of oxygen decreases with depth in the ocean due to increasing water pressure. At 250 meters depth, the partial pressure of oxygen in the blood of a fish would be significantly lower compared to the surface level. This reduction in oxygen partial pressure can impact the fish's ability to extract oxygen for respiration.


What animals live in a ocean biome?

Depends on the depth and whether it's warm or cold water. However, at the depth we usually consider "the ocean" there are moray eels, clown fish, sea anemones, coral, parrot fish, sea urchins, lobsters, angel fish, lion fish, pipe fish, sea snakes, octopi, dolphins, tuna, sharks of all kinds, swordfish and many more.

What height do most fish swim in the water?

Are the fish you are reffering to from an aquarium, ocean or lake/dam? :). There aer thousands of different species of fish which preffer to swim at different levels in water. To get the average depth would be near impossible.

Why do scientists today use sonar rather than weighed ropes to measure the depth of the ocean?

The rope is not as accurate as the sonar. The rope can move due to the ocean currents.

Fish are cold blooded. so all you have to do is stick the therrmometer inthe water it is cept in.
