Fish

Fish have what looks like a line of dots running along their sides. In some species there is more than one line. This line is called a "Lateral Line". It contains pressur sensitive nerve endings. These act like our ears and pick up sound and other vibrations which are transfered to the fishes brain. The fish then reacts as required.

Theyre are jellyfish and starfish to name a couple that do quite well without fins. Then there are all the shellfish too. I wonder though if you meant what would have happened if fish had evolved without fins. If that is the case then the best answer I can give is that life as we know it would not exist because fins were the beginning of legs/limbs. No fins = no legs = differently evolved species.

Jellyfish, starfish and shellfish are not fish. They belong in different families and are not related to fish. The person above has no idea of what he or she is talking about.

Humans have been eating Tilapia for at least 7000 years. The Egyptians farmed Tilapia at least 4000 years ago and Jesus passed out the very same Tilapia we eat today, caught in the Sea of Galilee (actually a fresh water lake), when he did his Sermon on the Mount. In fact, humans were still fishing mainly Tilapia from the Sea of Galilee until it was closed in 2009 for overfishing and low population fish counts.

In contemporary times, Tilapia is a major export fish with the largest exporter being China despite its many problems with raising Tilapia in highly polluted waters, their overuse (some scientists say "abuse") of antibiotics, as well as their practice of raising fish in excrement "fertilized" waters.

Tilapia is probably the most purchased fish in US markets and as prices for sea caught fish soar there seems to be no end to the increasing popularity of Tilapia as a worldwide, aquaculture product. In fact, according to INFOFISH 2010 "The US. was the single largest market for Tilapia globally. In the first 10 months of 2010, a 15% increase of Tilapia imports was recorded compared to the year before."

Indeed humans are eating Tilapia like never before.

The Asian arowana, or dragon fish lives in southeast Asia. Most arowanas are found in Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia. Their preferred habitats are slow moving jungle streams.

The marine Lionfish and several species of Stonefish have deadly poisonous glands under their dorsal fins. When the dorsal fin is pressed down the poison is injected/forced into whatever pressed the fin down. (Usually a foot).

Characins (Tetra, Piranha, Hatchetfish, Pencilfish, Headstander)
Anabantoids (Gourami, Siamese Fighting fish)
Livebearers (Molly, Platy, Guppy, Swordtail)
Killifish
Catfish
Loaches

some fish are not wildlife e.g goldfish while some are ee.g the catfish wildlife is very important

how does deathstalker scorpion attain its food

most fish in pet stores are tropical, including bettas. therefore they like temperatures in the mid seventies, therefore depending on how cold your window sill is it probably would be better to have it in a warm part of the house for the fish.

Bone and cartilage. just like the nose of a person only sharper and harmfuler if that is a word. but it isn't because I just maded it.

no because the water will be bloody gross

yes, when it is canned its safe to eat, unless the top is bulging , or there is an outward hiss when opened . The can should suck air in when opened . If not then you should not eat it .

filet of sole

no, a fish is not a mammal.

Bear eat the fish known as trout.

a fish is a predator and prey, it can hunt and it can be hunted

sharks, on the other hand, have few predators and are pretty bad-ass.

There is an extensive database here:

It contains most of the more common species of freshwater, brackish, and saltwater puffers.

No, they eat and drink nector from flowers.

I think its called Naruto,

Its also some sort of fish paste.

No. There can not be too much oxygen in a fishes water. If a fish is swimming upside down and it is not of a species known for doing that, then the fish has a damaged swim bladder. The fish is very sick and will die.

The female's back fin under where her anus would be (behind the two pectoral fins) will have a fin that is fanned out...The male's fin in that spot is tucked back and you will usually see the gonopodium (penis-like organ) which is just a long straight thing that points backwards. A female with her fin tucked up can look very like a male, but when she relaxes and hovers in the water she will almost always let her fin fan out. It is difficult to sex livebreeders while they are swimming. The male sexual organs are also some of the last characteristics to develop, so juveniles suddenly switching from female to male is normal. It's not wise to buy platies or other livebreeders based on sex until they are fully grown.

No, because yogurt is not a diuretic. It is natural though.

Paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) is a nervous system disease caused by eating cooked or raw shellfish that contain environmental toxins. These toxins are produced by a group of algae (dinoflagellates).

For freshwater, use shad, shiners, blueback herring. Saltwater baitfish include mullet, ballyhoo, popeye minnows, cigar minnows.
