Queen angelfish are found in the tropical waters of the western Atlantic Ocean, from Florida to Brazil including the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea. They inhabit coral reefs, rocky areas, and crevices at depths ranging from 15 to 60 meters. Juveniles can be found in more shallow waters and mangrove areas.
Why do fish die when taken out of water?
Fishes die when they are taken out of water because just like how we suffocate in water when we drown fishes also suffocate in the air. The reason for this is that the gills i.e. their lungs, are stacked on top of each other which is known as the gill stacks. Without water the gill stacks all stick together preventing oxygen from entering. In addition the gills don't have a large enough surface area to get the amount of oxygen it needs to survive.
What adaptations do tropical fish have?
Tropical fish have adaptations such as bright colors for camouflage and attracting mates, streamlined body shapes for efficient swimming in warm waters, and specialized gills for extracting oxygen from low-oxygen environments. Additionally, some tropical fish have evolved unique behaviors to avoid predators or to find food in their specific habitat.
clown fish can last as long as it is healthy enough to live. When sea creatures live in the ocean they tend to be way healthier than if they live in a small environment eg. a tank. Clown fish may live around 3-4 years if they aren't eaten and if they eat and continue to stay healthy.
Based on what I can find on the net, snow fish is either a) Escolar, or b) Sablefish FYI, it seems more often referenced to escolar than sablefish. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escolar http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sablefish
they breathe water
Via the gills, by osmosis. The oxygen they need is dissolved in the water.
Fish extract the oxygen out of the water using their gills, thus leaving the water hydrogenated, which some plants and animals (marine ones) need as opposed to oxygen so balance is restored. Hope this helps.
Fish breathe underwater using their gills.
Fish "breathe" by gulping down water. This water passes over the fishes' gills, made up of the same flesh as our lungs (roughly), which extract the water using either active transport, or simply a concentration gradient on a partially permeable membrane, I'm not quite sure. Either way, the oxygen is extracted from the water, and Carbon Dioxide replaced. The water then passes out the slits in the side of the fishes head.
This method is very effective, meaning the fish can extract around 80% of the oxygen in water, which is EXTREMELY important, as water only contains 2-5% oxygen, as opposed to 20-something% for air.
Also, the ease of which the oxygen is extracted depends on the water temperature, whether it is salty, and other factors. This is why most freshwater fish can't survive in the ocean.
What type of non scales fish that's good to eat?
According to the Bible non Scale Fish are not suppose to be eaten
Where do arctic grayling live?
Arctic grayling can be found in cold freshwater environments throughout the Arctic and subarctic regions of North America, Europe, and Asia. They inhabit rivers, streams, and lakes with clean, well-oxygenated water. These fish are known for their distinctive appearance, with a sail-like dorsal fin and vibrant colors.
Predators of the Canterbury mudfish?
The Canterbury Mudfish prefers lots of cover (aquatic plants) to hide from all their different predators in, and also, to lay all their eggs in. Generally, they have lots of species feeding on them, but their main predators are; Trout, Eels, Herons, and Bitterns. For more details, please see sites listed below.
No. Fish are a separate classification simply called "fish": they are not amphibians, which include frogs, toads, newts and salamanders. A major difference between the two classifications is that amphibians breathe using gills or spiracles when they are young and develop lungs as they grow and undergo metamorphosis: fish rely on gills for their entire lives.
An amphibian initially must spend its life in the water until metamorphosis is complete, while a fish spends its whole life in the water.
No, a fish is not an amphibian. An amphibian is a cold-blooded vertebrate that spends part of its life in the water and part on land, while a fish spends its whole life in the water.
No, fish can not live out of water. yes it is the most similar animals out there
Sheepshead fish are preyed upon by larger predators such as sharks, bottlenose dolphins, and larger predatory fish like groupers and barracudas. Additionally, humans also consume sheepshead fish as part of their diet.
Lungfish are found in freshwater environments in Africa, South America, and Australia. They typically inhabit slow-moving streams, ponds, swamps, and estuaries. These ancient fish have adapted to survive in both wet and dry conditions, often burrowing into mud to aestivate during dry periods.
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.
