A fish normally displaces its own what?

A fish normally displaces its own weight in water. This is an example of Archimedes' principle, which states that the buoyant force acting on an object in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.


Why does a fish can swim?

Fish can swim because they have streamlined bodies that reduce water resistance, paired fins that provide stability and maneuverability, and a swim bladder that helps with buoyancy control. These adaptations allow fish to move efficiently through water.


Why can't fish survive in acidic water?

Some types of fish do live in acidic water. Water with a PH level below 7.0 is considered acidic water. The lower the PH the more acidic the water, the more acidic the water the more aluminum is released which is unsafe for fish. Also, the more acidic the water the lower the dissolved oxygen content is. So having water too acidic for the type of fish that inhabits the water is keeping the fish deprived of proper oxygen levels which results in lower body weight, stunted growth, lethargic behavior, fish eggs being unable to hatch, shorter life spans and death.


How much does the rattail fish weigh?

The weight of a Rainbow fish is about 7.0 pounds.


One day peter caught 100 kg of fish The total weight of three largest fish was 35 kg and the three smallest fish was 25 kg How many fish did Peter catch all together?

Peter caught a total of 8 fish. The three largest fish weighed 35 kg, meaning the average weight of each large fish was about 11.67 kg. The three smallest fish weighed 25 kg, equating to an average weight of 8.33 kg per small fish. By adding the weights of the largest and smallest fish, we can find the total weight of all the fish caught, which is 60 kg. Since the total weight of the fish caught is 100 kg, the weight of the remaining two fish totals 40 kg. Those two fish each have an average weight of 20 kg.

Dose the weight of water change if you add a fish?

If there is no overflow of water, then the container's over-all weight goes up by the weight of the fish. The weight of the water itself doesn't change.


Ddo fish floating in a pon add weight to the overall weight of the water?

Yes, fish do add weight to the overall weight of the water in a pond. This is because the fish has mass, which adds to the mass of the water. As the fish swims around in the pond, it displaces the water in the pond, which adds to the overall weight of the water in the pond. Furthermore, when a fish excretes waste or urine, it adds to the overall weight of the water in the pond. The additional organic matter in the water, such as food particles and other organic materials, also add to the overall weight of the water in the pond.


Will a tank full of water and a tank filled with water and fish swimming weigh the same on a scale?

That depends on the weight of the fish as compared to the weight of the water their bodies displace. If it's a heavy, dense fish, then the tank with the fish would weigh more. If it's a light, less dense fish, then the tank with water only would weigh more. This assumes that the water displaced has been removed from the tank, right? If you are adding the fish to the water then I think it should increase the weight regardless of the density of your fish. The question then might be, does the fish weigh less when it is swimming than it would on a dry scale?


Does adding live fish to a fish tank increase its weight?

No, it doesn't since water is all around the fish and puts pressure from everywhere just as air puts pressure on us everywhere. But if the fish is the floor then it would be heavier since there is no pressure.


Will a tank of 100 gallons of water weight the same if a fifty pound fish is added?

No. If the water doesn't overflow, then the addition of the fish will increase the total weight of the tank and its contents by 50 pounds.


Does frozen fish weight more the thawed fish?

Fish will weigh less after it is thawed because it loses some water when it is thawed.

What chemical could be added to water to increase the weight of an object within it such as a fish for instance?

To the best of my knowledge there is no chemical method of increasing the weight of a fish in water. I am intrigued as to why on earth any sane person would desire to do so.

Why would you use weight when caching a fish?

To keep the bait from floating on the surface of the water.


If you put a five pound fish in a gallon of water does the water now weigh fifteen pounds?

A gallon of water weighs about 8.34 pounds. If you have a good sized bucket with a gallon of water in it and you put a 5-pound fish in the bucket, you'll have a bucket that weighs about 13.34 pounds (plus the weight of the bucket). That's as long as the bucket doesn't overflow. The fish will (usually) be neutrally bouyant in the water, and it will be essentially weightless in that water. But its weight will add to that of the water in the bucket. No, it won't weigh 15 pounds, but it will weigh in as suggested. However, the weight of the water itself will not change.


If one gallon of water weights 8.34 pounds would adding a 2 lb fish to the water change the weight of the water?

10.34
