What are some adaptations of the swordfish?
A swordfish habitat will be all water and some air space for the swordfish to jump around. The habitat will include
- Bacteria(deep),
- Zooplankton (to eat the bacteria as its food),
- small fish (mackerel) to eat the Zooplankton.
The swordfish will then eat the small fish. The reason all this is needed is because the swordfishes prey needs food to survive, just like if one animal gets extinct the whole food chain will crumble. The habitat will have to be very big for the swordfish to swim around and deep because the swordfish travels through different parts of the ocean. There will be very few obstacles because swordfish live in open water. acording to the swordfishes food web the swordfish can eat crabs, squid, and other plankton eaters so there may be those.

What country do swordfish come from?
Salmon live in both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, as well as the Great Lakes of North America. Most of us have heard that salmon swim upstream to make their trek to lay their eggs, and are anadromous, which means they are born in fresh water, migrate to the ocean, and return to spawn. Spawning before dying is a pretty good motivator, and salmon are pretty strong fish. The fact that they can leap up to twelve feet out of the water helps them overcome most obstacles. However, dams without fish ladders contribute to the threat of extinction. Even without dams, life's hard for the poor salmon. When fish younger than a year old, are released from hatcheries, only about 1 to 5 percent make it back home to spawn. The word Salmon is from the Middle English salmoun, or samoun, which is thought to mean "to leap" in original form. Salmon are central to Native American mythology on the Pacific Northwest coast
