Can a puffer fish be a pet?

YES!

Puffers are very intelligent interactive fish. They learn to recognize their owners and will happily swim to the front of the tank to greet you. They have very demanding requirements, and before considering one as a pet, you should research what type of puffer will best suit you. ThePufferForum.com is a great place for puffer info.

How this is an advantage to the fish their shape?

fish's body type is really like its nature, such as like sharks, they have a torpedo shaped body because they hunt for prey and they need to go fast.

A fish can also have a streamlined body which allows the fish to go faster. Or it can be laterally compressed from side to side and so it is adapted for hiding in cracks of coral and etc.

Do fish reproduce only once?

The answer to this question depends on what species of fish you are specifically asking about. The record for swordtails is 300, but whilst this seems like a large amount, keep in consideration that is a humongous accomplishment if even 20 percent of the eggs survive. Other species, such as the cardinal tetra, rarely breed in captivity, so you should not keep your hopes up for them. One species that rapidly and frequently breeds is the guppy. Guppies may leave you wishing you had not chosen to breed them in the first place. You should probably expect at least fifty or so eggs, and don't be crushed if all of the eggs don't survive. Like I mentioned earlier, even twenty percent of survivors is quite an amazing feat.

What does a blob fish taste like?

How many people have been killed by sword fish?

The answer is 1 based on the fact you used the word "a" meaning one. I assume however you refer to the total population of the Broadbill Swordfish which is popular for sport fishing and once feared endangered. The problem is that for most non-mammalian ocean species, direct population measurement is replaced by frequency of encounter (non commercial species) or fishing yields when deciding to declare a species endangered. For most ocean dwelling species it is technically impossible to count and track all individuals in all their territories -- or even approximate that in most cases. Except of course those species tied to the actual surface of the ocean such as airbreathing mammals and a few species that can only survive in the direct sunlight of the top few feet of the ocean surface. For all other species the problem is that the ocean is 3D, not a simple surface like land, which greatly increases the territory in which a species can be found. Further, the ocean is generally a hostile environment to humans in which we can not freely move about and observe. In fact the vast majority of the ocean is open to only handful of humans in submersibles for a few moments of each year. So actually a species merely needs to change its habits to cause a change in its assessed endangerment -- even though in actuallity there is no proof that the number existing has changed. If a species is no longer caught by fishers going to the traditional locations and using the traditional bait and means of catching them...well that fish species is now endangered. If a change in habits makes that species practically jump into a fisherman's net, lines or traps...well suddenly we assume the species has rebounded and is not endangered. However you may find a few expert specialists in a given species willing to make a WAG (Wild Ass Guess) as to "big number" (as in thousands, millions, billions) population based on a whole lot of assumptions. Such assumption might include size of territories and number of fish per volume or the assumptions might be based on spawning rates, availability of prey species, and time to grow versus success rates of commericial fisherman. But likely such experts would different in the details and still ultimately look back to rates at which fishermen harvest or destroy these species. Here is an example of how such WAGs are made & why you cannot put actual numbers on the swordfish population http://www.bigmarinefish.com/swordfish.html

Why fish preservation important?

Fish preservation is important because if we don't preserve them, they will become extinct. We won't have any fish for food and the Earth will once again have lost a wonderful animal species.

Why is the number of pharyngeal gill slits in sharks fewer than that of other marine fishes?

"Jaws are believed to have evolved from the first pair of gill arches of agnathans. The second pair of gill arches became support structures for the jaws." - Biology Laboratory Manual, Ninth Edition Darrel S. Vodopich and Randy MooreSo, sharks have fewer gill slits because the first two pairs became the jaw and the structural support for the jaw.

Why were fish made?

Fish were not created; they evolved from previous ancestors which lived in water. The evolution of fish actually came through different lines, evolutionary speaking, and so there is no common ancestor for all fish.

However, many species have ancestors known from many hundreds of millions of years ago (for example, the shark dates from ~450 mya, before any dinosaur species; the Placodermi and Agnatha are two of the earliest classes thought of as fish and are recorded beginning at around 530 mya), while others are only though to have developed tens of millions of years ago (Salmonidae which includes salmon and trout is first known individually around 40 mya).

How do fish move underwater?

Is a clown fish a vertebrate fish?

How do you know if a walleye fish is a female or male?

This is very difficult. It's done through "venting." The vent is the opening between the anus and the anal fin where the fish will excrete either eggs or sperm. Usually the vent is larger in females. It raelly just depends on the type. In some cases, if there is an "egg spot" on their anal fin, it means that the fish is male.

Will fish really be extinct in 2048?

We'll have to wait to 2048 to find out, unless you can see the future?
