Yes, salmon are a type of fish that are known for their pink flesh and are commonly found in freshwater and saltwater habitats. They are popular among seafood lovers for their taste and nutritional benefits.
Can Flounders change color to match their surroundings?
Yes, flounders have the ability to change color and pattern to blend in with their surroundings, providing them with camouflage to avoid predators and ambush prey. This ability allows them to effectively camouflage themselves on the ocean floor, making them skilled ambush predators.

What you got was a steaming and sulfur discharge on the surface.
Is a parana fish an amphibian?

The biting behavior of blue fish can vary based on factors like location, weather, and time of day. It's best to check with local fishing reports or talk to fellow anglers in your area for the most up-to-date information on blue fish activity.
A piranha (singular) can eat anything that it can chew through or swallow whole, given enough time. A horse has vaguely similar characteristics to a human in the sense that it's skin is not protective in that sense, so yes, a piranha can indeed eat a horse, given enough time. Now a whole school would be able to do so in minutes.
Outer covering of jawless fish?
Jawless fish do not have scales, so their skin is naked. They also do not have jaws or paired appendages. They do, however, have a cartilaginous skeleton and a dorsal nerve cord that leads to a distinct brain.
What ocean zone is a star fish in?

What is the Function of a fishes adipose fin?
The adipose fin in fish serves as a stabilizer during swimming and helps in maintaining balance. It also contains important sensory nerve cells that provide feedback to the fish about the surrounding environment.
Stonefish have few natural enemies due to their highly venomous spines which deter predators. However, some marine animals such as sharks, sea snakes, and stingrays are known to prey on stonefish. Humans are also a threat to stonefish through activities like fishing and habitat destruction.
How many died to the cause of the puffer fish?
The exact number of deaths caused by puffer fish ingestion is difficult to determine, but there have been reported fatalities from consuming improperly prepared puffer fish, which can contain a deadly toxin called tetrodotoxin. It is estimated that several dozens of deaths occur annually worldwide due to puffer fish poisoning.
Do fish have a 7 second memory?
There is a popular belief that goldfish only have a three-second memory span and every lap of their fishbowl is like seeing the world for the first time.
Children's films like Disney's Finding Nemo - in which one of the main characters is a dory who suffers from short-term memory loss - have done little to help dispel the myth that fish are dumb.
But a 15-year-old schoolboy from Adelaide has just debunked that theory.
He has conducted a simple experiment, which proves that the humble goldfish is smarter than we think.
"I mean it never really seemed feasible to me, that they had a three, five, 10 second memory because animals need their memory, so they build up over time a knowledge of where the food is," said Rory Stokes, a student at the Australian Science and Mathematics School.
"It seemed pretty impractical for a species to evolve without these capabilities."
He conducted a school experiment to prove his theory, using a small tank of goldfish.
"I decided to get a bit of red Lego and just feed them next to that. Every day I'd put it in and sprinkle food around it," he said.
"At first they were a bit scared of it, a bit wary, but by the end of the three weeks, they were actually almost coming before I put the food in."
After leaving the fish alone for a week, Rory placed the red Lego block in the tank again.
"They remembered perfectly well," he said.
"They actually had a time faster than the average of the three feeds before I left."
The goldfish showed that not only could they retain information, they also had the ability to recall it at a later date.
Culum Brown, a research fellow at Sydney's Macquarie University, has studied fish behaviour for more than a decade.
He says his studies of Australian native species prove fish are intelligent creatures that know how to avoid predators and catch food like any other animal.
"The thing that I really liked about Rory's experiment is he not only got that classical conditioning going [but] the fact that he could get them respond just to that specific coloured marker I thought was really good," he said.
"One of the experiments I did was looking at teaching fish to escape an artificial trawl.
"The net had a small escape route in it and the fish just had to learn where that hole was and they learned that in about five trials.
"If you put the fish aside and test them a year later, they still remember exactly where the escape route is."
It is not a bad feat for an animal with a brain 380,000 times smaller than a newborn human baby.
But if fish are smart, it raises the question of whether it is cruel to keep them in tiny fish tanks.
"Definitely - I think the more complicated you make your fish tank, the happier your fish is gonna be," Dr Brown said.
"In fact, the best thing to do is to keep changing it around, so make it interesting for them.
"You'll find that if you do that, your goldfish will be much more active and much happier in general."
I'm unable to display images as I'm a text-based AI. However, needlefish are slender, predatory fish with elongated bodies and long beak-like jaws filled with sharp teeth.

What kind of plants to salmon eat?
Salmon primarily feed on small aquatic insects, invertebrates, and zooplankton. They may also consume algae and detritus found in the water. Overall, their diet is largely dependent on their life stage and the specific habitat they inhabit.

How does the angler fish hide from it's enemies?
The angler fish hides from its enemies by blending into its surroundings using its camouflage abilities. Its body coloration and structure help it to effectively conceal itself in the deep-sea environment where it resides. Additionally, some species of angler fish have bioluminescent lure systems that help to attract prey while minimizing their own visibility to predators.
