Why does a sword fish have a pointed nose?
To spear small fish, makes it easier to navigate and hunt.
Why do fish have a streamlined body?
Sharks, Tuna, Mackerels, and Marlins are all examples of Streamlined body shape fishes.
What effects do Asian carp have on people?
Asian carp currently effect humans by starving out native species of fish and destroying the natural ecosystems.
They pose a serious threat to rivers and the great lakes region by starving off native species of fish and hurting the fishing and tourism industry.

How does fish egg fertilization occur?
by pooping on them
A male fish fertilises the eggs After they are released by the female, either by releasing sperm alongside her, as she drops the eggs, or by floating above the batch after the eggs have been dropped, and releasing the sperm into the water above them. There is no real contact between a breeding pair.
No, dogs and cats do not have wishbones. Wishbones, or furcula, is a forked bone found in modern birds and dinosaurs belonging to the following families: Dromaeosauridae, Oviraptorids, Tyrannosaurids, Troodontids,Coelophysids and Allosauroids.
The furcula is formed by the fusion of the two clavicle bones. In birds, its function is to strengthen that part of the skeleton so it can withstand the rigors of flight.
the only fish that see colors live in the northern toptopia where they can see colors humans can see
What do you do when your betta fish lays eggs?
No, only female fish produce eggs. Male betta fish produce sperm.
You may often see a cluster of egg shaped bubbles at the top of a male betta's bowl or aquarium. These are not eggs, but they are a type of nest called a bubble nest.
no. they make nests for the females to lay eggs in
No, the females lay eggs.
How does gas exchange occurs at the gills of the perch fish?
The gills of a fish are lined with many red, blood-rich capillaries called filaments. As water passes over the gills, oxygen is absorbed out of the water through the filaments into the bloodstream.
Garfish eat small fish and worms I also caught a Gar on Mullet and a Guy told me 2 use bacon but they like Shad,bacon,mullet,worms, and also you can try to fray a rope and throw it in at a gar and if the gar bites it leave it there for about 2-3 seconds and reel him in slowly
A blobfish uses its fins to paddle and its tail to steer/change direction.
However...
Because the blobfish is a sea-bed fish which lives along the bottom of the sea beds where the pressure is so high, it is impossible for the gas bladder, found in most fish, to achieve perfect buoyancy. Therefore the blobfish evolved gelatine-like flesh which helps them to float in the extremely high pressures without using all of their energy.
A disadvantage of this is that the blobfish has relatively little muscles to help the fins and tails work properly. Therefore when blobfish hunt for food, they merely swallow edible things that simply float in front of it, rather than swimming around hunting food like most fish.
Blobfish are on the verge of extinction because of deep-sea trawler fishing.
i always catch my barbel on spam they love it you should try it u will catch many barbel on spam and banana boiles,pellets,hookable pellets. so good luck catching ur barbel.

Is it bad when a fish is lying on its side?
When a fish is floating on it's side, on the surface of the water, it's probably dead.
How does a fish use its lateral line?
lateral line is a line on the fish body that function to detect vibrations in water
What is the function of the vent in fish?
Unlike humans, fish do not have lungs (with the exception of one species, the "lung fish"). Fish are in fact not "ventilating", but breathing. Inside the gills of a fish are rows of red tissue, called filaments. Inside the filaments are many blood capillaries rich with red blood cells which transport oxygen throughout the body. As the fish moves its gills back and forth, it moves water over the filaments and oxygen in the water is absorbed into the blood stream through the filaments. When fish are in water with too little oxygen and cannot get what they need from moving their gills, they will go to the top of the water and gulp air from the surface. If you own a fish and you see it doing this, it would be a good idea to install a water filtration system. Fish will die if the water they are in has too little oxygen.
They also have to vibrate their gills from time to time to release the build-up of sea salt, which can become carcinogenic if allowed to cake hard.
What kind of fish can live without oxygen?
There are no fish, per-se, that live out of water. You may be thinking of animals that are amphibians. Which are frogs, toads, salamanders and the like. Some look remarkably like fish that can stay on land for awhile, especially a species called mud skippers. you can find a picture of them at attached link, to see if that was what you were thinking of !
Young fish are commonly referred to as Fry. How ironic :)
AnswerFish eggs are called roe, and baby fish are called fry. (Fish eggs that have been salted and cooked for human consumption are called caviar, but these will not hatch!)fingerling
