What part of a swordfish boat's gear is the bird?
The bird is a kind of "sea anchor" that is lowered into the water on a cable, on each side of the boat from booms out over the water. It is shaped sort of like a streamlined "bird" from which it gets its name. The birds keep the boat steadier in the water as it's moving and help reduce rolling in heavy seas.
Unlike marine mammals such as whales and dolphins with lungs that store oxygen from the surface air, fishes have gills. Gills are a series of membranes located on each side of the fish that function as respiratory organs. As water passes over this system of extremely fine gill membranes, the fishes absorb the oxygen from the water. The gills contain a network of fine blood vessels (capillaries) that take up the oxygen and diffuse it through the membranes. When fishes are taken out of water, they suffocate, because their gills collapse and they are unable to absorb oxygen.In many ways, the interior of the fish resembles that of many other animals. The digestive, circulatory, and nervous systems are very similar to those of other vertebrates. However, what really makes a fish different from other animals is its respiratory system.

The nervous system of a swordfish, like that of other fish, consists of a central nervous system (CNS) and a peripheral nervous system (PNS). The CNS includes the brain and spinal cord, which process sensory information and coordinate movement. Swordfish possess a well-developed brain relative to their body size, enabling complex behaviors such as hunting and navigation. Additionally, their nervous system is adapted for high-speed swimming, allowing for rapid responses to stimuli in their aquatic environment.
