By swimming. The fish uses it's tail muscles to pull its tail back and forth propelling the water out of the way. Did you know that the faster-swimming fish generally have a smaller gap in their tail while slow fish have a bigger gap?
Fish move by oscillating their fins and tails. It is a very efficient form of transport in the water.
Where is the poison located on a fugu fish?
Recent evidence has shown that tetrodotoxin (the poison present with fugu) is produced by certain bacteria and that these are the source of the toxin in pufferfish like fugu. It is speculated that the fugu picked up the bacteria by consuming other animals were contaminated with the bacteria - which doesn't hurt them because they have developed an immunity to the toxin. Some aquaculture farmers manage to produce "toxin free" fugu by keeping them away from the bacteria.
The poison seems to accumulate in the organs (such as the liver and ovaries) and skin of the fugu. If improperly prepared, the toxin can spread to other parts of the fish.
Why are the fish eyes so large and placed far apart?
In the very low depths, there is very little light. Large eyes enable the fish toy channel and focus what little light there might be. Evolution has bestowed deep sea living creatures with larger eyes over time.
Eyes on the sides of their heads allow the fish to have a large spectrum of sight. As a result, a fish can more easily spot and avert predators.
What is application of hormonal stimulation in fish culture?
One problem with such composite fish culture is that many of these fish breed onlyduring monsoon. Even if fish seed is collected from the wild, it can be mixed with that of other species as well. So, a major problem in
fish farming is the lack of availability of goodquality seed.
To overcome this problem, ways have now been worked out to breed these fish in ponds using hormonal stimulation. This has ensured the supply of pure fish seed in desired quantities.

How do you set up a tank for a star fish?
It's the same as starting a marine tank. buy saltwater mix, sand/gravel, live rocks are also good, powerful filter for the right size of your tank, a protien skimmer, heater, and light fixture. You will also need various chemicals. Look them up. Its gonna be more than $100 for everything, just for a 10 gallon tank. Anyways, clean out your gravel/sand. Put it in the tank, then fill water up. Let the water become clear (it will be cloudy). Then, put in enough salt mix (according to the directions on the label) for your tank. Install the filter, protien skimmer, and heater and light. Cycle the tank for about a week, make sure your salt is at the right level, and all your chemicals. Then, if it is safe, start out with one fish. If he survives, add the starfish about 1 week later.You may keep adding fish about every week.
Check out reefscavengers.com for live fish and chemicals to buy. Or, just go to your local Petsmart. They have everything!
Studies of wild lobsters show that they prefer live prey, such as fish, mollusks, worms and crustaceans, but surgeonfish and lobster don't hang out in the same environments.
Lobsters are are bottom feeders found in the cold waters of Alaska and Maine, while surgeonfish are herbivores that prefer warmer coral reefs and feed on algae, you will find them near rocks that get a lot of filtered sunlight.
When are baby fish safe from being eaten?
Baby fish, or fry, are generally at risk of being eaten by predators until they reach a certain size and maturity. This safety threshold varies by species but often occurs when they reach about 1-2 inches in length, depending on the size of potential predators in their environment. Additionally, their survival can be enhanced by seeking shelter in vegetation or hiding spots until they are big enough to avoid being eaten. Environmental conditions and the presence of predators also play significant roles in their safety.

Why does the archer fish need to know about refraction?
The archer fish needs to understand refraction to accurately shoot jets of water at insects above the water's surface. Refraction causes light to bend as it passes from air into water, which can distort the perceived position of prey. By compensating for this optical effect, the archer fish can adjust its aim to hit targets accurately, ensuring successful hunting. This ability highlights the fish's remarkable adaptation to its environment.
