    Fish have several adaptations that help them live in water, including gills that allow them to breathe oxygen from water, multiple fins for propulsion and steering as they swim, a lateral line system to sense movement in the water, a streamlined body that reduces resistance, and a tail that helps propel them forward.

    ADAPTATIONS OF FISH THAT HELP THEM TO
    LIVE IN WATER
    Most fish have several fins for swimming. They use some
    of their fins to propel themselves through the water and
    Fish have gills that allow them to others to steer the body as they swim.
    “breathe” oxygen in water. Water
    enters the mouth, passes over the Lateral line system acts as a sesnsory
    gills, and exits the body through organ system to sense the movement in the
    a special opening. Gills absorb water around the fish
    oxygen from the water as it
    passes over them.

    The tail of the fish


    helps it to propel and
    move forward through
    the water

    Fish have a stream-lined body.


    They are typically long and narrow,
    which reduces water resistance when
    they swim
