Fish

The octopus and shark populations will decline.

All directions.

The natural beauty of the mountains and water, especially Mount Rainier and Puget Sound. Salmon, apples, wine, coffee (Starbucks), computer software (Microsoft), and grunge/indy rock music (Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Modest Mouse, et al).

No. To date, importing Garra rufa fish has not been approved by the Australian Government's Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts.

at king aquarium that's where you buy a white crayfish

Alge eats C2o, something that humans don't want in their body.

the Mexican walking fish defends itself against predators by camouflaging itself in the surroundings.

Yes, fish do have ears inside their heads, but many do not hear sounds very well. They use what are called "latteral lines" that run along the sides of the fish. They use these to sense changes in water pressure. This is similar to the way humans ears sense atmospheric pressure changes.

The lateral line (note spelling) is not used for pressure detection, but rather for detecting water motions around found around fish (within a body length or so) up to about 100 Hz. The lateral line has nothing whatsoever in common with human pressure change detection - the receptors are different and atmospheric pressure changes are very low frequency (below 1 Hz).

The ears of many fishes are able to detect sound (particle motion) and while many species do not hear as well as humans or other mammals in air, they are sensitive enough to be able to detect the "acoustic scene," which means that fish can hear the sounds around them of biological relevance. Indeed, hearing in vertebrates evolved (in fishes) to give the animals information about their extended world, far beyond the range of vision. In effect, by using hearing, fishes (and all vertebrates) get a 3 dimensional "view" of the world around them that extends far beyond the range of other senses. This "acoustic scene"works in day and night, and enables animals to be aware of their environment.

Yesterday I witnessed an odd fish behavior. A large carp took my plastic bait which was unusual to begin with. While I was fighting the carp at one point another similar sized carp came up along side the hooked carp and seemed to encourage it to continue fighting. The unhooked carp turned the hooked carp out of the shallows back toward open water where it started another run, peeling line off the reel. I never witnessed behavior like that with fish.

Sharks never lived on land so they didn't ADAPT to water. They always have lived in water. When a shark knocks on your front door, you can say that they adapted to a new environment. Adaptations can only be in behavior. Physical attributes are defined by genetics which means, they are what they are. They aren't adaptations. They can be physical traits of survivors.

I am sure many of the scientific names for fish have flowers or floral mentions in their scientific names. I suspect you are seeking a fish with the word "flower" in its name, so I say to you: The Flower Horn Fish: These beautiful hybrid fish are result of cross breeding various Cichlasoma species such as C. trimaculatus, C. festae, the Jingang Blood Parrot, and perhaps other species too. The best quality Flower Horn Fish have been produced by fish breeders that are eager to produce the best show quality fish. The Flower Horn Fish has gone through several generations of selective cross breeding to capture the best characteristics of various different species. Most breeders are striving to produce Flower Horn Fish with bigger nuchal hump on the forehead, better coloration, bolder black marking on the body (which at times resembles Chinese characters), more elegant fins, and wider body. But neither chemicals or genetic engineering have been used so far to improve on the traits or characteristics of the Flower Horn.

If you are referring to Sciaenops ocellatus, a saltwater member of the family Sciaenidae, I believe the original common name (red drum) was too similar to the popular chant of Satan worshippers (redrum) which is murder spelled backwards. In order to make it a popular sportfish with sponsored televised tournaments it was given an easy less offensive name that stuck.......or maybe because it is a fish that's red.

yes all fish mate

Many crabs eat herrings, but they are mostly omnivorous scavengers. They will eat anything that will fall to the sea floor and will hunt other small fish.

by petting their snouts and dancing around in a triangle formation. if the seahorse does not behave, they sing an opera to put it to sleep. seahorse are infamous for their horseplay

Scaled fish often obtain food by eating plants and animals that are smaller than themselves. Some fish have teeth or hard bony structures that can help to crush them into smaller pieces.

Piranhas won't eat people unless you have a bad cut.

lumpfish ---- Caviar is the roe of the Sturgeon. Mock caviar is made from the roe of the lumpfish (and from the roe of several other species). Red caviar comes from the Salmon, If you are looking for the answer to the Telegraph GK then it is "sterlet"

Since carp are bottom feeders ,it is generally accepted that when they jump they are removing mud and silt from their gills.
