How does traveling with a school of fish serve as defense mechanism?
It makes the group of fish look bigger and tougher against predators.
These groups are also called aggregation. The fish protect them selves in a school by performing a technique some call The knew "edge."
The fish on the outside of the group swim inward and then the knew edge fish swim inward as well and the cycle repeats. The fish never actually stop moving. This is done to reduce the per-individual likelihood of death.
What do you call a fish without any eyes?
A fish someone killed by pulling out it's eyes.
A Blind Fish, as in the Mexican Tetra, a blind cave fish.
Sharks, as an example, do not have scales.
Re: Sharks instead have something like skin, but have these things on them that make them very rough. They could even scrape off your skin!! For a weird fact, people used to use the skin of sharks as sandpaper.
I caught one today in Belas Lake, Cass County, Michigan. It was 20 inches long.
this question makes no sense
Actually, it does make a lot of sense. Tilapia for example, is a freshwater fish but you find it in the seafood section of all grocery stores. Technically, many types of fish, shrimp, lobster etc are not seafood at all! But for simplicity in restaurants and grocery stores, they are classified as such.
Like any other fish, the female will release her egg's while the male releases his fertilizer.

Is the steelhead trout native to California?
Yes, the Steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss irideus) is native to the freshwater streams flowing into the Pacific Ocean from California to Alaska - on across the east, to the waters of Russia, China and Korea.
A few of the more famous waters of California for their native runs of steelhead are: Rivers - Santa Maria, Santa Ynez, Ventura, Creeks - Jalama, Gaviota, Montecito, Rincon ... to name but a few. There are dozens of waters now vacant of once massive runs.
The steelhead of California are a 'canary', indicator species, sensitive to environmental degradation. Their declining numbers spawned the longstanding effort to improve water and resource quality, in California and nationwide. Much is yet to be done as their numbers are still in serious decline, with extirpation across much of their native range.
Yes, they migrate for reproduction, so might not always be pelagic.
What is the body temperature of a fish swimming in 60 degrees of water?
The body temperature of a fish swimming around in water that is 60 degrees would be 60 degrees also. This is because fish, unlike mammals, are coldblooded; they do not waste energy keeping their body temperature constant. Their body temperature would match that of the water around them.
What is the symbiotic relationship between a clownfish and a seamone?
Mutualistic. The clown fish provides food for the sea anemone and in return, the clown fish is given protection. The clownfish lays eggs in the sea ananome, and the ananome protects the eggs because of its stinging tentacoles. An example is the movie Finding Nemo.
Fish have ears on either side of their heads, but you can't see them. If a person were to cut a fish's head open, you'd find two white oval shaped "stones" with ridges on them. These are called the otoliths or ear stones. They function only slightly for hearing. Mostly they're used for balance and pressure. The line running down the side of a fish, the lateral line, is also very sensitive to pressure changes and water movement. It functions as a second set of ears in several ways.
