What else can I help you with?
Do fish need air?
They need oxygen definitely to survive. They get this from filtration through their gills. As far as light is concerned, they do not need light to survive as many live below the layer in the ocean that light can permeate. There are fish that lice in total darkness. They have adapted over the years to exist in these conditions.
What do fish use to breathe?
Fish breathe through their gills. There are usually gills on either side of the pharynx. Gills have thread-like structures (filaments). These filaments exchange the oxygen and carbon dioxide.
Why do fish need gills?
Fish need gills to extract oxygen from water in order to breathe. Gills are specialized structures that contain blood vessels where gas exchange takes place, allowing fish to obtain the oxygen they need to survive. Without gills, fish would not be able to extract oxygen from water efficiently.
What is the angler fish's environment how does the angler fish breath?
The angler fish lives in almost every ocean. It is found toward the bottom of the ocean. I believe they use gills.
How does fishes breathe?
All fish breath through their gills, there is oxygen in water, as such, they take the oxygen through their gills.
What charateristics do fish have to be able to survive in the ocean?
Gills, fins , a tail and some sort of camouflage and/or defence

What is an adaptation common to all species of fish?
An adaption fish need to survive are gills.
Is there a fish which can survive on land?
yes it's the lungfish, it has lungs and gills
How does the fish use his fish gills to survive?
It uses it's gills to extract oxygen from the water to oxygenate it's blood and also to expel carbon dioxide from the blood.
Do fish breathe?
They extract oxygen from the water using gills. Pumping water through the gills is called respiration, and is basically like breathing. So yes, fish breathe, they just don't usually breathe air. Some fish however, such as the lung fish, breathe (gulp) air from the surface. Fish breathe through organs called "gills" which are located on both sides of their heads. Gills are just like the lungs of land animals, but adapted slightly to enable the fish to breathe underwater. Fish breathe by gulping water. The water brushes over the gills of the fish. The gills then extract the oxygen out of the water and replace it for carbon dioxide. Then the water passes out of the slits/gills on the side of the fishes head. Gills are very effective at their jobs. They can extract 80% of the waters oxygen in every gulp. Gills are specifically evolved uniquely for the species of the actual fish. For example, a saltwater/ocean fish needs stronger gills to extract oxygen from the harsh, salty water. Whereas freshwater/river fish have less stronger gills, because they don't have an issue with salty water. This is also why freshwater fish cannot survive in the ocean.
Plant and animal adaptations in the Atlantic ocean?
i also don't no but just i am guessingthe animals are born in the ocean andlike if its shark so the shark will teachhis baby to swim etc
Can puffer fish survive in fresh water?
No. Puffer fish can only survive in the ocean.
Why do fish live in the ocean?

Which animals have gill chambers?
Fish are animals that have gills. There are many types of fish, and they can be found in the ocean and in lakes.
What adaptations help fish survive?
Fish Have Gills To Breathe Under Waterthey have streamline bodiesthey become flexible
Why fish survive in water?
they drink the water and suck out the oxygen and push the water out the gills
