to protect it from decay under water and creates a slimy mucus to let it skid easily from others when caught in limbs .
Fish scales provide protection by reducing friction and protecting against injuries or parasites. They also help fish regulate their buoyancy and maintain water balance. Additionally, scales allow fish to swim more efficiently by reducing drag in the water.
No, a fish's scales do not shed as the fish grows larger. Instead, the fish's scales grow in size as the fish grows. The scales provide protection for the fish and do not need to be shed like skin or fur.
One reason amphibians are tied to water is because without it, their skin would not be able to stay moist, which they need for cutaneous respiration (they breath through their skin). When reptiles developed, they had scales, which kept moisture in. They also no longer used cutaneous respiration. This helped them make the break from water.
Reptiles are cold-blooded vertebrates that have scales or scutes covering their bodies. They lay eggs on land and breathe air through lungs. Reptiles are ectothermic, meaning they rely on external sources of heat to regulate their body temperature.
* This ques may need a spcecific fish, but heres some adaptations of a fish...: * A fish's gills * Its tail and fins.... * and remember if you find out wat is an adaptations of an animal,heres the definition: Bera Ankita, :):

They need moist on there scales and they eat fish
Since fish live underwater, they need scales, otherwise their hair would be wet. By the way, God made all animals differently for a reason.
That's a good question. Not all fish have scales. Swordfish, catfish, cod, mackerel, whiting, sturgeons, sharks and eels are just a few examples of fish without scales. The mahi-mahi fish does have scales, and is a clean fish, suitable for human consumption, according to the bible. Leviticus 11:9 states: "Of all the creatures living in the water of the seas and the streams, you may eat any that have fins and scales". Mahi-mahi meets the criteria of having both fins and scales.
Because they need to be shaped aerodynamically to easily swim through the water.
To be kosher, fish need scales and fins. The dictionary definition of cat fish is "Any of numerousscaleless, chiefly freshwater fishes of the order Siluriformes, characteristically having whiskerlike barbels extending from the upper jaw"

bacause they have smaller bodies than us and fish need sea salt to breath
NOTA. The aren't fish, so they don't have scales, they aren't birds, so they don't have wings, they can't go on land, so they have no claws, they aren't mammals, so they don't have fur, and since they don't really need to camoflauge themselves most have no need for stripes.
weight it.
pretty much whatever it can find such as fish, rodents, carrion (dead bodies) ,and smaller birds
