    This document summarizes key facts about fish: fish are cold-blooded, breathe oxygen through gills, cannot breathe air or live outside of water, have scales instead of skin, use fins and a tail to swim, and hatch from eggs. It also explains that fish have a swim bladder that helps them float and adjust their depth in water. Finally, it notes that some animals with "fish" in their name like jellyfish and starfish are not actually fish.

    TEXTO

    Fish have bones and are cold-blooded. (Cold-blooded

    means that their body temperature depends on the

    temperature of the water around them, unlike humans,

    who have a normal body temperature that stays at

    98.6 degrees.) They breathe oxygen from the water

    through gills on the sides of their bodies. They cannot

    breathe air or live outside of water. Most fish are

    covered with small scales instead of skin. Fish use fins

    and a tail to swim around. Baby fish hatch from eggs.

    A person who studies fish is called

    an ichthyologist  (say: ICK-THEE-ALL-O-JIST).


    Most fish have a special part inside their bodies

    called a swim bladder. Air inside the swim bladder helps

    the fish float through the water. The fish can adjust

    how much air is in its swim bladder. If it wants to

    swim deeper, it lets some air out and if it wants to

    swim up towards the surface, it will let more air into

    its swim bladder.

    Some animals that have the word “fish” in their

    names are not really fish. Some examples are cuttlefish

    (they are mollusks, see below), jellyfish (they are

    actually plankton), and starfish (they belong to a

    group called “echinoderms”). Can you think of any

    other animals that are called fish but do not have the

    things it takes to be a real fish?
