gills
Samon have some! they can jump up and down waterfalls and can remember where they were born, and each year (if they dont die before/after they give birth) they go back to were they were born, and give birth to up to 5,000 eggs. On average, only 1/199 will make it to aldult hood! And they die right after birth, and ,mostly so do the males! hope that helped!

Fish are adapted to their habitat in that they breathe through gills and do not have to surface to take in air. They are also adapted to their habitat in their coloring which helps them to hide among water plants.

As you should know, adaptations are things that animals have to help them to survive in the wild in their certain environment. Different fish have different adaptations because of the environment that they live in. Some fish have sharp quills on their backs to protect them from predators.

Most fish also have fins to help them swim in the water: some fins are even shaped differently. This usually affects the way they swim and the speed that they swim at.

Scales are also a important adaptation to a fish. Scales have a slimy mucus on them to swim through the water faster and smoother.

Another adaptation is a protective gloss that fish have over their eyes to protect them from anything in the water that might damage them. And the water itself could make the fish's eyes flake and burn without the protective gloss.

Fish must grow long fins to sift through the mud on the deep sea floor, they must also learn camoflague and adapt to the sea lighting.
