living things that swim<\/p>\n
Definition<\/a>: Fish are a paraphyletic<\/a> group of organisms that consist of all gill<\/a>-bearing aquatic<\/a> vertebrate<\/a> (or craniate<\/a>) animals that lack limbs<\/a> with digits<\/a>. Included in this definition are the living hagfish<\/a>, lampreys<\/a>, and cartilaginous<\/a> and bony fish<\/a>, as well as various extinct related groups. Most fish are ectothermic<\/a> (“cold-blooded”), allowing their body temperatures to vary as ambient temperatures change, though some of the large active swimmers like white shark<\/a> and tuna<\/a> can hold a higher core temperature.[1]<\/a><\/sup>[2]<\/a><\/sup> Fish are abundant in most bodies of water. They can be found in nearly all aquatic environments, from high mountain streams (e.g., char<\/a> and gudgeon<\/a>) to the abyssal<\/a> and even hadal<\/a> depths of the deepest oceans<\/a> (e.g., gulpers<\/a> and anglerfish<\/a>). At 32,000 species, fish exhibit greater species diversity than any other class of vertebrates.[3]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n aquarium<\/p>\n fish tank<\/p>\n fish sandwich<\/p>\n freshwater fish<\/p>\n plenty of fish<\/p>\n fishy<\/p>\n fish recipes<\/p>\n fish species<\/p>\n fish games<\/p>\n San Francisco Fish Company<\/p>\n clown fish<\/p>\n Fly fishing<\/p>\n Babelfish<\/p>\n Mary Poppins<\/a><\/em>: Close your mouth, please, Michael.
