What fish were found in the New England colonies?
Common fish found in the New England colonies included cod, haddock, flounder, mackerel, and lobster. The abundance of these species played a significant role in the economy and diet of early New England settlers.
What species amazonian electric variety packs a 650 volt wallop?
Electric eel. It should be understood the old demonstration with strobed and flashing lights a the New York Aquarium was simulated, there are serious problems in getting accurate conduction of electric currents in a fish tank, quite apart from shock hazards to aquarium personnel. the eels are real enough the special effects are (Show -Go-Round) owing to grave pracxtical difficulties. they should explain this to the viewers that what they are seeing is simulated electrical discharge. Museums and Zoos should not be involved in faking science even with a good motive. ZAP!
What do fish eat in the Arctic?
Well there is no difference to fish in the artic and fish not in the artic.
Its still the same cycle.
Bigger fish eat medium fish
medium fish eat small fish
small fish eat shrimp(and small cretures like that)
shrimp eat plankton
The only difference is that fish in the artic have special blood which make them not freeze to death in the water.
How do the scales and slime help the fish?
It helps them swim easier.
It is unlikely that fish would eat spiders as they are not a natural part of their diet. Fish typically consume insects, smaller fish, and other aquatic creatures. Spiders are terrestrial organisms and would not be readily accessible to fish in their natural environment.
Yes, they do!
I was swimming in a fresh water reservoir in NW Spain, when something bit my thigh. I saw what I thought was a brown fish, about 8 inches long attached to my leg. I quickly brushed it off, but it came back for another bite! I've never swam so fast!! When I looked at my leg later I had a red round mark with definite tooth marks. It could only have been a lamprey.
Why is the meat on salmon pink?
Salmon eat large amounts of a tiny shrimp called Krill. The pigment in the shell of the Krill is red and over a long period of consumption the flesh of the salmon absorbs the red pigment from the Krill.
Because of dyes absorbed from the crustaceans that they eat.
Does a sailfish care for its young?
No, sailfish do not care for their young. Once the female sailfish lays her eggs, she releases them into the water and does not provide any further care or protection. The eggs hatch into larvae that must fend for themselves.
A fish is a living animal that retains oxygen from water and is born with fins to swim with. There are many varieties of fish so this answer is only the most basic information of all fish.

They are also cold-blooded and reproduce by externally-fertilised eggs.
It is estimated that there are over 3 trillion fish in the ocean. The exact number is difficult to determine due to the vastness of the ocean and the variability in fish populations across different regions.
Why do fish have fluid in their body cavities?
Until a pro contributes, I suggest that the purpose of the fluid filling the cavities is to prevent excess positive bouyancy, which would cause the fish to uncontrollably float to the surface. Buy having its natural bouyancy at or near neutral, the fish would then be able to adjust to positive or negative bouyancy with only small effort.j3h.
What can be done when a fish has dropped its head?
If a fish appears to have dropped its head, it may be a sign of stress or illness. Ensure the water parameters are appropriate for the species, check for any signs of disease, and consider adjusting the diet or environment to alleviate stress. If the issue persists, seek advice from a vet specializing in fish health.
What is a white film covering the fish eye and how do you treat it?
Cloudy eyes are a sign of a water quality problem - test your water. A general antibacterial medication such as Mela-fix should help - but no use dosing with that if your water quality is completely out of whack. And make sure you don't "Wipe" The medication over the fish's eyes, it will result it eye damage. Trust me, I have had the same problem, I used that trick and... IT WORKS!

The correct answer is yes, fish can get sunburned, but it is unusual unless there is something about their environment that does not allow them to seek deeper water or some kind of shelter. Sunburned fish have been known to occur in aquaculture when rearing systems were not properly designed to account for sun exposure.
What is 62.6 Fahrenheit in Celsius?
Start by taking the number in Celsius and multiply it by 9. Then divide that number by 5, and then add 32. This is how you convert Celsius to Fahrenheit or use the equation F = (9/5)C + 32
In this case, the answer is about 143.6 degrees Fahrenheit.
Does eating fish and squid make you a carnivore?
No, eating fish and squid does not necessarily make one a carnivore. Carnivores are animals that primarily eat meat from other animals, while those who consume fish and squid may still have a varied diet that includes plants and other food sources.
How big of a tank should you get for a 7 inch large mouth bass?
A large mouth bass of 7 inches will need at least a 50-75 gallon tank to provide enough space for swimming and growth. However, as they grow quickly, it is recommended to have a larger tank to accommodate their adult size. An 80-100 gallon tank would be better in the long run for a large mouth bass.
What is the kingdom of lapu-lapu fish?
The kingdom of the Lapu-Lapu fish is Animalia, as they belong to the animal kingdom. They are further classified under the phylum Chordata, class Actinopterygii, order Perciformes, and family Lutjanidae. Lapu-Lapu fish are also known as snappers.
How does respiration occur in aquatic organisms?
Aquatic organisms respirate by extracting oxygen dissolved in water through their gills or body surface. The oxygen is then delivered to their cells, where it participates in cellular respiration to produce energy. Carbon dioxide, a byproduct of respiration, is released into the surrounding water.
Yes. Most female fish will lay around 50 eggs at a time and the male will fertilize them with his sperm.
How does fishing effect earth's other sphere's?
Your question, minus those fancy shmancy apostrophes;
How does fishing effect earth is other sphere is. That doesn't make sense does it?
But for real....what? Well you see, all of the fish in the world are actually the earths workhorses for the rotation of all the spheres in the world(?) and at night they have to swim in circles around magnets in the earths crust to make the spheres move. So when you kill a fish you're making the world move a little slower and we are all going to freeze to death if the world stops. So always throw your fish back after you catch them.
Why fish in the wild can grow bigger rather than in the aquarium?
Fish in the wild have more space to grow and exercise, which promotes healthy growth. They also have access to a diverse and natural diet, which helps them reach their full potential size. Additionally, wild fish are exposed to natural environmental factors that can contribute to their growth, such as water temperature fluctuations and changes in food availability.
Is an archer fish a herbivore carnivore or an omnivore?
Archer fish is the name for a family of tropical fish that live in the brackish waters of Southeast Asia and northern Australia. Archer fish are white with black vertical bands. Adults reach a size of about 6 1/4 inches. Famous for the unique way of catching prey, Archer fish can squirt thin streams of water from their mouths to knock down insects sitting on overhanging vegetation or even flying insects. The insects will fall into the water where they are quickly devoured. As excellent jumpers they can leap out of the water to grab insects on low hanging branches. Since Archer fish feed on spiders, crickets, worms, seaweed, insect larva, small crustaceans, they are considered omnivores.
What type of biologist would most likely study the effect of acid rain on the fish population?
An aquatic biologist would most likely study the effect of acid rain on the fish population, as they specialize in the study of organisms and ecosystems in freshwater environments like rivers, lakes, and streams where fish populations are often impacted by acid rain.
Do fish close their eyes when sleeping?
Some fish do not have eyelids, so they cannot close their eyes when they sleep. However, some species of fish may exhibit a form of rest where they remain still or hide in a safe spot without closing their eyes.
