How Easy is shooting fish in a barrel?
Shooting fish in a barrel is considered very easy because the confined space of the barrel makes it difficult for the fish to escape, resulting in an almost guaranteed hit for the shooter. The saying "like shooting fish in a barrel" is used to describe a task that is extremely simple or effortless.
In 1996 it was about 120 million tons. Up from about 20 million tons in 1950.

Do salmon live in groups or alone?
Salmon can live both in groups and alone. They are known to form schools, especially during migrations, spawning, or feeding. However, they can also be solitary when searching for territories or during periods of rest.
How far deep do flying fish live?
Flying fish are typically found in surface waters of the ocean, where they can leap and glide to escape predators. They are not deep-water species and do not live at great depths. Flying fish generally stay within the top few meters of the water column.
Goodby and thanks for all the fish?
You're welcome! If you have any more questions or need assistance in the future, feel free to reach out. Have a great day!
Do you clean your sea-monkeys water?
hi
you can not just tip it out and replace it
it will kill your pets
BUT you can buy the aqua leash from online sites and good toy shops to clean the bottom of the tank.
another way is to remove a little fraction of water from the tank and replace it with bottled or distilled water.
but be carefull!
make sure the temperature of the new water is the same as the tanks water!
What is the function of the Posterior Dorsal of a fish?
The main function of the dorsal fin in any animal with a dorsal fin is stability. Some fish have adapted for using the dorsal fin for other uses, such as propulsion in the Sunfish. The anglerfish's dorsal fin has evolved to work as a fishing pole so that the fish can bait and catch their prey.
What do tadpoles eat in a fish tank?
Their are certain ways of stopping fish from eating your tadoles firstly you shouldn't be keeping tadpoles in the same place where fish hang around. Tadpoles are water animals so if you want to keep the fish away from eating tadpoles the best way is to find a water based thiing for example a condom. A condom is water based so tadpoles will live in it and fish are afraid of plastic. for some reason but it sounds strange and weird but its the truth
Does lake texoma have fish in it?
Yes, Lake Texoma is known for its diverse fish population, including species like striped bass, largemouth bass, catfish, and crappie. It is a popular destination for fishing enthusiasts due to the abundance of fish in its waters.
What does a backbone of a fish do to help the fish?
The backbone of a fish, also known as the spine, provides support and structure to the fish's body. It also protects the spinal cord, which is essential for sending messages between the fish's brain and body, allowing it to move and function properly.
What kind of skeletal system does a salmon have?
Salmon have an endoskeleton, which is an internal skeletal system made up of bones and cartilage. This endoskeleton provides support and protection for the salmon's organs and muscles, allowing them to swim efficiently.
How do cartilaginous fish stay afloat?
Bony fishes achieve buoyancy through an air filled sac called a swim bladder. The bladder controls the fish's buoyancy by varying the gas pressure inside the fish's body to allow it to sink or rise in the water.
Chondrichthys, or cartilaginous fishes (sharks, skates, rays) achieve buoyancy in other ways because they do not have swim bladders. They do this 3 ways:
1. Store low-density compounds in the body. They store various lipids in throughout their bodies ,which have lower densities than seawater. Squalene is one lipid that is stored in the liver of sharks.
2. Reduction of dense tissues. Chondrichthys do not have replaced bones with cartilage, which helps them reduce their weight in the water. Cartilage is 1/2 as dense as bone. They also reduce muscle mass and protein content. They also increase water content of tissues .
3. Dynamic lift. Sharks can generate lift by their swimming motion. They have a heterocercal tail with a larger dorsal lobe than the ventral lobe. This tail generates lift on the posterior end of the fish, but pushes the anterior end down. This is corrected by having large pectoral fins. This positive attack angle generates head lift. The head of a shark is also flattened dorsoventrally and counteracts the tendency for the tail to push the head downward.
The disadvantage of the Chondrichthys methods of buoyancy is that it is difficult for them to adjust their buoyancy and low density lipids are energetically expensive to make. Dynamic lift requires constant forward motion. They must keep swimming, which can also cost a lot of energy.
How do you treat an eye infection in a fish?
Bromothymol blue is typically used. That can be purchased at most pet shops. The trouble with an ick infection is that by the time you see it, it has grown throughout the fish's body and there isn't much that will save it. You can also try quarantine so the rest of the fish in the aquarium don't come down with it.
Fish do not experience labor in the same way that mammals do. Fish reproduce by laying eggs, which are often fertilized externally. The female fish releases her eggs into the water, where they are then fertilized by the male fish.
Fly-fish can you have two flys?
Assuming you mean fishing with two flies at the same time, yes you can as long as it is legal in the jurisdiction you are fishing. There are many lakes and rivers in some areas where only a single fly is allowed.
In fly fishing competitions, where fishing more than one fly is legal, there are rules and regulations about the minimum distance between the flies must be. In some jurisdictions, fishing three flies in a tandem is allowed.
The fly that is attached to the end of the line is called the "point fly." The fly(s) above are said to be "on the dropper" as they are tied to leader material that is attached to the main leader and "drop" from the main leader.
In stillwater fly fishing when midges or chironomids are hatching, fishing two or three chironomid imitations in tandem can be very effective.
Why do more advanced fish have symmetrical tail fins?
Symmetrical tail fins provide more precise control and maneuverability in the water, allowing advanced fish to swim faster and more efficiently. This adaptation helps them catch prey, evade predators, and navigate their environment with greater agility.
What are baby puffer fish called?
While they are still an egg, they are called roe. Once the young are hatched, they are called fry.
Were did Atlantic salmon come from?
Atlantic salmon are native to the northern Atlantic Ocean and typically spend the majority of their lives in the ocean before returning to rivers to spawn. They are found in rivers along the east coast of North America and in Europe.
What are the 3 main body regions of a fish?
The main body regions of a fish are the head, trunk, and tail. The head contains sensory organs and feeding structures, the trunk is where the main body organs are located, and the tail provides propulsion for swimming.

What is the name of the fish that cleans other fish?
The fish that cleans other fish is called a cleaner fish. They remove parasites and dead skin from other fish in a symbiotic relationship, benefiting from the food source while providing a service to the other fish.
Why is the snakehead fish bad?

How do you keep my fish alive in fish tycoon?
A. If it is an inexpensive fish you can just throw it away.
B. If you want, you can sell it. But be prepared to see thought bubbles of customers showing a smelly fish... it is possible but it can take a while.
C. You can buy medicine. But make sure you only bother to do this if you are certain you need this fish, and/or it will make you a profit. Medicine is not cheap, especially for cheap and nasty $4 fish.
D. Don't let your fish get sick at all!
You can buy special plants, foods, snails, aeration pumps, filters and there are magic fish that help prevent sickness. It is worth buying them all in the long run.
You can have a maximum of 21 fish per tank, but the more fish, the more likely sickness will become. Regularly trim down your numbers.
If the fish has fungus, or the green stuff on its body, buy the pink bottle. If the sickness is white, it is ick, and you need to buy the yellow bottle.
Happy fish keeping!
