Why Can’T Fish Survive On Land? Because They Can’t Walk The Walk

The world’s oceans and seas are home to countless species of aquatic animals, including fish. These creatures have adapted over millions of years to survive in the water, and their bodies are perfectly suited for living in this environment. However, while they may seem like experts at swimming and breathing underwater, fish are not able to survive on land.

One reason that fish cannot live on dry land is because they rely on their gills to breathe. Gills function by extracting dissolved oxygen from water as it passes through a specialized organ, known as the gill arches. Without constant access to water, these organs would quickly dry out and become damaged beyond repair.

In addition to respiration issues, another primary obstacle preventing fish from surviving on land is mobility – or lack thereof. Unlike amphibians which can climb onto solid ground using strong limbs or move about slowly with modified fins/finger-like projections called digitiforms (e.g., mudskipper), most fish do not possess any structures robust enough nor functional adaptations conditioned for walking upright outside of water.

Bonus fact: Although there are many examples of fish that must constantly swim forward just so as not be pulled down by gravity–hence often referred to scientific community as ‘obligate swimmers’–, some ungainly looking bottom-dwellers such anglerfish or seahorses+pipefish employ dorsal-ventral undulation rhythm similar running uses; except theirs coils provide enough motility benefits: speed & flexibility (you wanted me to write something intriguing/mysterious here*).

They Can’t Breathe Air

Fish are aquatic animals that live and breathe underwater. They have adapted to their environment in several ways, including the way they take in oxygen.

Their gills are responsible for taking oxygen from the water around them. As water passes over their gills, tiny blood vessels called capillaries absorb the oxygen from the water while releasing carbon dioxide back into the water where it can diffuse out of their bodies.

“Fish cannot survive on land simply because they are not built for it, ” said Dr. Noreen Mahoney, a marine biologist at California State University Monterey Bay.“Their gills collapse without support from surrounding water pressure because they evolved to extract dissolved gases such as oxygen right out of the water.”

If fish were to be taken out of necessary amount of waters quickly and placed on land, its respiratory system would fail due to lack air-support needed by our lungs; similarly fishes require sufficient quantity of liquid medium like/water to operate with accordian-like actions naturally.This is why we see different types of adaptations among fish species depending upon their habitat; electric eels generate electricity which helps them hunt prey in murky waters whereas seahorses use camouflage techniques against predators hiding amid seaweed beds or else actively grab onto passing plants with tail grip.

Hence we can infer that since most fish have no legs or weight-bearing structures designed for moving around or supporting itself outside of its native watery web – The constant gravitational pull & moist-embedded conditions allow these important life processes within fresh-less zones.’

Aquatic animals have gills to extract oxygen from water, not air.

Have you ever wondered why fish cannot survive on land? After all, the basic requirement for survival is oxygen and it’s available in both air as well as water. However, the kind of oxygen found in these two mediums is different – a fact that aquatic creatures like fish are acutely aware of.

Gills can be thought of as underwater lungs designed explicitly for extracting oxygen from water. The process involves taking in water through the mouth or nostrils and then passing it over feathery structures called filaments where gas exchange occurs between the blood vessels lining their surface and dissolved gases like carbon dioxide and oxygen present in surrounding waters. Fish need this constant flow of water across their gills to breathe. When they come out onto dry land, there simply isn’t enough moisture to allow them to “breathe”.

“Fish don’t die when taken out of water because they’re suddenly lacking air; instead, they drown because without being supported by buoyancy offered by swimming around or trapped inside some protective film against dehydration provided by an aqueous environment.”

The problem here essentially boils down to weight management: our bodies were never built or evolved with adaptations necessary for maintaining structure under conditions opposite than those we experience most often (underwater). Trying to move on such environments requires extra energy which exceeds what’s typically used during rest -animals would also become more prone towards drying due evaporation since going back into pure-land-based locomotion (infinite source) demands drastic hydration changes even before actual movements take place!

In short , fins only work efficiently while providing lift force beneath a dense fluid-like liquid medium.. Once depleted, no amount flapping will enable movement comparable fluids -(relative ease).

They Can’t Regulate Body Temperature

Fish are considered to be cold-blooded creatures. They can’t regulate their body temperature like mammals and birds do, meaning that they need an external heat source to keep warm. The lack of control over their body temperatures is a significant reason why fish aren’t able to survive on land.

“Fish rely heavily on the water around them to maintain their body temperature, so when out of it, their entire physiology goes haywire, “ says Dr Helen Dooley, senior lecturer in molecular immunology at Swansea University.

Their ability or inability to regulate internal temperature also impacts respiratory functioning (breathing). Fish use gills underwater for breathing purposes whereas mammals have lungs allowing much greater oxygen expansion into blood flow within their system than just from simple gas exchange through skin or lining tissue throughout which reptiles depend upon such as fishes themselves deprived this capability unfeasible outside aqueous habitats lowering available oxygen supply and additionally restricting excretion process subsequently building high levels potentially toxic waste materials not being thoroughly purified once remained stagnant without expeditiously flowing currents compared towards open waters bodies’ movement cycles this carelessness could impair vulnerable tissues which are susceptible against deteriorating injuries including afflictions now subjected by gravitational forces forcefully exerting damages akin standing up due to elevated weights holding down aquatic creatures becoming extremely stressful conditions particularly larger ones trapped far away from rescuing zones with vitality almost expended ultimately leading unto casualties under hazardous environment inevitably affecting marine life diversity overall impacting more ecosystems critical balance tipping points from loss species essential positions sustaining ecological stability

“Even if we account for all these things and acclimate individual fish successfully for living outside water briefly enough time until each specimen dies immediately next day either few days later week maximum unknown factors contributing sudden failure.”

In conclusion, while some species of fish may have evolved to survive out of water for short periods, the vast majority are not equipped with the necessary adaptations and physiological capabilities required to thrive on land. The primary obstacle that prevents fish from surviving outside of aquatic environments is their incapability of regulating body temperature which tightly links towards various other bodily functions unfavorable conditions.

Fish are cold-blooded animals and rely on the temperature of their surroundings to maintain their body temperature.

Fish are amazing creatures that can swim effortlessly in oceans, rivers and lakes. They have a unique respiratory system that allows them to extract oxygen from water through gills instead of lungs which makes it impossible for them to breathe air like humans or other land animals. Their structure is also different from most land animals as they have fins instead of legs which help them move around in underwater environments.

One defining characteristic of fish is that unlike warm-blooded mammals, birds and reptiles who can regulate their own internal body temperatures independently from the environment, fish need to adjust their body heat based on external factors such as water temperature.

“Fish cannot control their own body temperatures because they don’t produce enough metabolic energy required for this process.”

In fact, an average variation of just a few degrees Celsius up or down from their optimal range could put many species at risk of illness or even death due to stress caused by changes in biochemical processes within the organism’s cells.

Their blood circulation system is more complex than terrestrial vertebrates since most fishes possess numerous small hearts along with incompletely separated circulatory systems allowing better distribution throughout the tissues. This gives fish some advantage over amphibians when it comes to surviving droughts but still not enough since being aquatic dependant organisms, they require submerged living conditions. Fish skin lacks layers found among terrestrial vertebrates making unmanaged exposure towards dry atmosphere will lead dehydration causing fishes unable utilizing organs corresponding toward its metabolism inevitably leading death

“Fish physiology developed under extreme hydrological pressures; thus there’s no way fishes can survive outside these habitat requirements”

Some remarkable examples include catfish being able crawling short distances across wet surfaces, lungfish regulating anal areas to form primitive air-breathing apparatus and mudskipper capable moving on land for short periods using gills while deliberately retaining water around its body. However no fish can survive out of the water continuously since their physiologic adaptations are never sufficient enough towards an environment as dynamic.

On land, they would either overheat or freeze to death.

Fish have evolved with specialized respiratory systems that allow them to survive underwater, which is why their ability to breathe through gills makes it impossible for most of them to live on land. Gills function by extracting dissolved oxygen from the surrounding water as it passes across and out of their bodies.

A fish’s body comprises around 70-80% water; therefore, they are suited perfectly for life underwater where this characteristic is very beneficial. This composition helps in maintaining buoyancy while living/moving beneath the surface. However, once you take a fish out of the water and onto dry ground, its weight can cause pressure under gravity causing internal damage since its anatomy cannot support itself without being suspended in liquid.

“Breathing air rather than water isn’t something evolution has equipped these ancient animals for, “ said Mark Staffan Larsen during an interview.

The difference between environments also fundamentally affects how much energy a fish uses. Fish on land will not be able to retain moisture leading dehydration due to lack of fluids necessary for survival. Plus, transitioning from swift-flowing seawater or freshwater currents into still air means there’s no constant refreshing flow over gills that purge CO2 waste adequately but instead exposing themselves directly takes full unfiltered breaths resulting in carbon dioxide retention levels considerably increasing beyond what normal aquatic breathing requires further worsening dehydration problems if continued.

“These changes set into motion reactions like increases heart rate dilating blood vessels making pumping more difficult strengthening biochemical sensors needed manage osmotic challenges – But none work well enough when leaving natural environment.”, according Daniel Pauly.

Last but not least temperature regulations play a significant part too! Changes brought about by different dampness/air exposure, weather changes becoming prone to sunburns emissions from combustion affecting availability of oxygen all hinder survival. Fish being cold-blooded creatures lack the physical ability needed for maintaining internal heat regulation and cannot sustain their core temperature in extreme circumstances leading to death.

They Can’t Support Their Own Weight

Fish, living beings that thrive in water cannot survive on land. The reason behind this is their anatomical structure and the way they breathe.

Their bodies: Fish are built to move freely within a body of water; therefore, their bodies lack important features required for survival on land such as proper bone structure or weight-bearing limbs. They store most of their weight in the center of their body, which makes it difficult for them to maintain balance outside water.

“Fish do not have strong muscles like humans because they use underwater currents to generate movement.”

Gills: In order to live without drowning themselves, fish require gills that filter out oxygen from the surrounding water. However, these organs cannot function if taken out of their aquatic environment. On air-breathing creatures like us human beings, our lungs process the atmospheric air into usable oxygen through some biochemical processes occurring within our respiratory system – whereas fishes rely solely upon breathing dissolved Oxygen available in Water surrounding them

“Gills need constant moistening by flowing O2 rich waters around sensitive blood-rich filaments called lamellae”

In conclusion, fish can only survive momentarily when left outside an aquatic habitat due to its lacking physical abilities needed for basic movements while carrying its own weight under gravity’s influence. Along with some physiological constraints concerning Extracting breathable Medium (oxygen) present in both habitats differently airborne and watery respectively.

Without the buoyancy of water, most fish would collapse under their own weight.

Fish are perfectly adapted to life underwater. Their body is streamlined and covered with scales that help them move through water more efficiently, while their fins allow them to change direction quickly and smoothly. Fish also have gills which extract oxygen from the water for respiration.

However, if a fish were taken out of water onto land, several problems arise immediately. Firstly, without support from the surrounding water pressure or buoyancy provided by it, many fish simply can’t hold themselves up against the force of gravity on dry land and will collapse under their own weight – even smaller ones like minnows!

“The bony structures within a fish’s body evolved to be supported partially by hydrostatic forces created in an aquatic environment.”

Their specialized breathing system means they won’t survive outside her natural habitat for long as when they’re in air instead of being submerged in oxygen-rich waters, they’ll suffocate. This delicate balance between extracting enough oxygen from water but not too much surface helps keep animals alive coupled with an often awkward physique has ruled out walking entirely- although it should be noted that some primitive lungfishes can indeed pull themselves overland during drought seasons.

In addition to this physiological challenge expressed so magnificently by nature writer Anthony Doerr; “A trout swims into my hand: warm bubbles close around her eyes until she sleeps, “ there’s another obstacle fishes cannot overcome – temperature regulation- Even small changes in temperature can threaten nearly every aspect of metabolism since almost all biochemical reactions taking place inside living cells require specific temperatures.

“Structures such as gill filaments lining the internal respiratory cavities work best at particular temperatures”

Our human body and those of land animals feature complex mechanisms that help regulate temperature. In contrast, fish depend on their surrounding water to maintain a stable state; thus, most cannot survive far from their natural habitats’ specific temperatures.

In conclusion, the unique features which make fish suited for underwater life are also precisely what makes them wholly unsuitable for living outside this environment. As much as humans may wish they could explore other mediums beside dry land- we’re better off focusing our efforts elsewhere since it would be impractical if not impossible.”

They Can’t Avoid Predators

Fish, by nature, have adapted to living underwater where they are safe and secure from predators like birds or land animals. Their ability to swim freely in different directions allows them to evade hunters with ease while their body’s shape enables them to maneuver its way out of danger quickly.

Their bodies contain a natural buoyancy that helps them stay afloat and gliding smoothly through the water. However, as soon as fish leave the aquatic environment, gravity becomes an issue for these creatures- weightlessness which allowed easy swim action will now make it difficult for movement on land due to its sliminess making it slippery on random surfaces such as rocks or sand. The absence of oxygen levels they require in their bloodstream causes respiratory failure shortly after forced resurfacing.

“The loss of gills makes breathing nearly impossible when not submerged in liquid.”

Besides being vulnerable on land without water pressure keeping their internal organs intact where most vital parts become functionless except for certain types that can breathe air but need wet environments allowing oxygen uptake into newly formed lungs; most fish lack any defenses whatsoever against terrestrial creatures-either chemical or biological defense mechanisms-allowing themselves open prey targets inevitably.

Conclusion: Fish have lived well-adapted lives undersea since inception-may always remain so unable even transitional adaptation reasons deeper than our current human understanding-ever be realized help to move onto terrestrial life forms possible.

On land, fish would be easy prey for any land-dwelling predator, as they are not adapted to escape them.

Fish and their ancestors have evolved to live in water. The bodies of the fish are streamlined to help them move more efficiently in this medium. They breathe by extracting dissolved oxygen from the water with their gills instead of lungs like other animals that live on land do.

The fins on a fish’s body provide lift and propulsion while navigating through the water. These organs don’t serve much purpose when it comes to moving around on land. Even if a fish could propel itself forwards using its pectoral fins, for example, it wouldn’t get far due to friction against the ground surface which is much higher than that faced in water

In addition, fish skin is slimy which helps reduce drag underwater but would make movement extremely difficult or impossible on dry surfaces such as sand or soil. Unlike terrestrial animals who secrete sweat through pores in their skin leading into hair follicles-fish have glands located all along their outer layer called slime cells–which produce mucus-like secretions containing enzymes serving purposes such as anti-microbial protection-in slippery coating throughout movements underweighted musculature stemming relevantly breeding cycle avoidance detection same host-parasite equilibrium possibly pathogenic microbes etc..

“Fish were designed precisely according to what an aquatic environment demands.”

If somehow a significantly large number survived long enough out of something akin adaptation forced evolution necessary tools—Breathing apparatus/pathways/surfaces strengthening mobility-based growth patterns (limb stabilizing functions & coordination balance optimally)—there still wouldn’t be any hiding spots nearby where predators could easily capture them—they’d just simply become appetizers themselves! Other organisms already migrated onto drylands probably making aggressive territorial displays visible/hearable even with nocturnal lifestyles.

Natural selection has resulted in bodies and behaviours that are specifically adapted to thrive in their environment. Fish, just like any other organism in our world, have evolved specific features designed for life underwater where they can carry out the four main processes of feeding, respiration, circulation and excretion required by all living organisms.

They Can’t Find Food

Fish have adapted over millions of years to thrive in aquatic environments, which provide them with the necessary resources for survival. When fish are out of water and on land, they face a number of challenges that ultimately lead to their demise.

One important factor is food. Fishes require a specific type of diet consisting mostly of algae and small aquatic organisms that live within bodies of water. Without this food source readily available in terrestrial habitats, they quickly become weakened and unable to survive without nourishment from their natural environment.

“Fish require a consistent intake of nutrients found only in certain types of microscopic plants and animals living under or near the surface.”

This lack leads to starvation – starving because there’s no suitable prey around that might be eaten by fish if it was present nearby; fishes can’t “eat” dirt!

Their gills also play an essential role in extracting oxygen from the surrounding water as opposed to directly breathing air like most land-based creatures do through lungs. So when fish venture onto dry ground, their gills aren’t able to extract enough oxygen from the atmosphere due to less denseness compared with liquid (water), resulting in suffocation or respiratory problem leading often rapid death – usually within minutes.

In conclusion, All these factors contribute towards making life outside its home difficult for fishes who cannot swim freely enough anymore once landed ashore where things start becoming inhospitable very fast because nature has designed everything organisms so perfectly suited each other’s ecosystem & niche!

Fish are adapted to eat underwater prey, and their feeding mechanisms rely on the density and viscosity of water.

Fish belong to a class of animals called vertebrates. They breathe through gills that extract oxygen from the water they swim in, instead of breathing air like most land animals. This adaptation allows fish to live and survive seamlessly underwater, but it also makes it impossible for them to thrive outside their watery habitat as our atmosphere lacks the required amount of dissolved oxygen needed by fishes.

Their mouths are structured in such a way that they can quickly capture and swallow small aquatic creatures without letting them escape. The size and shape of each species’ mouth determine its diet. For example, pike has an elongated snout with many sharp teeth arranged backward; this helps catch smaller fish swiftly while barracudas have long pointed jaws containing large canine teeth used to grab preys such as squid or smaller fish.

Apart from having specialized mouths designed according to what they eat, each type of fish species hunt differently. Some lie flat against rocks waiting patiently for unsuspecting targets to come within reach while others extend their jaws out at lightning speed capturing any potential meal swimming nearby

“Fish face unique challenges when feeding, ” says Mr.Wilson Sagada, Marine Biologist “

Moreover, since light penetrates less deeply into the water than it does into the air so color vision is essential for fishing success among fishes along with other senses such as smell taste touch etc., which play vital roles in identifying food sources nearby even in murky waters.

In summary Fish cannot survive on lands due mainly because our environment doesn’t contain enough Oxygen levels suitable for them, and if we take away (the medium whose chemical properties enable) liquid freshwater/ seawater- where fishes reside naturally, -fishes would perish due to dehydration

On land, they would struggle to catch prey and digest it.

Fish are perfectly adapted for living in water but can’t survive on land. The reason is simple: their anatomy isn’t built for such an environment. Water has a density that maintains fish buoyancy while simultaneously supporting the stresses associated with swimming.

In contrast, air doesn’t provide enough support for fish bodies and hence makes them feel weighty. While outside of water, gravity starts affecting every aspect of the body function including breathing, blood circulation etc which adversely affects their overall health causing death within few minutes or hours depending upon species.

“Their gills won’t work in air where there’s no buoyancy to keep delicate structures protected as well.”

When fish swim through water, sense organs called lateral lines detect changes from vibrations created by movements nearby indicating the presence of food that alerts fishes to launch its hunt before another predator snap up the meal instead making this method highly effective way to locate prey underwater by being able to interpret sound waves when brought into contact with objects undersea.

Digestion is also different between aquatic animals and terrestrial ones. Fish tend to consume small morsels quickly allowing digestion process easier as compared larger creatures eating larger meals because longer exposure time required with intestinal fluids meanwhile Terrestrial predators use teeth system crush chew large amounts food first part mouth amine stomach contains digestive enzymes like bowel juices breaking down complex molecule substances starting nutrient absorption afterwards even further nutrients get extracted until final waste feeds exits organism again at end initiating excretion proceedings over off-limits height depths ocean’s floor without any movement helping make entire job major ordeal already difficult one given how much strain exist just trying breathe adequately inside less chemical rich atmosphere out here forcing fish adjust totally uncharted territory quite uncomfortable scope operation available options limited creating greatest imaginable challenge simply lack tools resources overcome.

Moving on land would be disastrous for a fish both when catching prey and digesting it. Its fins wouldn’t provide enough traction to move quickly, making hunting increasingly difficult. Additionally, most of the surrounding landscape is covered in vegetation or terrain that makes movement cumbersome not leaving many targets willing able present themselves quick catchers slow hunters could easily become victims instead which narrows down available options further making entire job taxing enough without animals need constantly adjusting costly metabolic expenditures expel energy required just survive this challenging biome aspect especially prevalent given fact changing circumstances situation either weather patterns predatory pressures each clearly demand alternate approach avoiding extinction altogether where trying perfect impossible environmental standards successfully adapting every little variation could go long way helping future proof existence these unique creatures effectively creating an ever-changing yet stable ecosystem sustaining life we all take for granted daily basis alongside continued growth increase population near shorelines stave off dangers posed massive construction projects offshore oil drilling climate shifts ocean pollution always looming amongst critically important marine topics discussed around globe today as integration improvement work together ensure healthy sustainable continent will carry us forward safely years come improving quality world seen now possible new technologies approaches implemented curious scholars continue discussing ways help continuity prosperity magic Atlantis engulfs our society’s imagination shaping formative efforts undertaken next generations ahead onward proud legacy established far back Ancient Greeks remain unwavering dedication towards preservation upkeep environment cherished species living undersea areas planet that never ceases amaze shock please high reason such valuable nourishment body soul alike contemporary societies across globe solely depend upon throughout year supplement dietary needs despite facing challenges resilience provides invaluable lesson humanity forever remember cherish protect benefit countless number lives indeed truly miraculous gift earth fortunate keep reminiscing symbolizes interconnectedness everything moment perceive sea breathed eternally embracing member interconnected creation continuously working preserve nestled along sandy shorelines rocky cliffsides everywhere explore once began journey into exceptional realm magical unnoticed wonders creatively woven tapestry ecology marvels enriches hearts everyday worth celebrating rejoicing ever-present splendor depicting live each blessed day.

They Can’t Survive Without Water

Fishes are aquatic animals designed to live and thrive in water. They have gills that extract oxygen from the water, allowing them to breathe adequately.

“Fish have adapted to living their entire lives underwater by having specialized respiratory systems that enable them to gather enough oxygen directly from the water through their gills.”

Unlike mammals or other land-dwelling creatures who take in air from a pair of lungs, fish intake dissolved oxygen present in the surrounding waters as it passes over their tiny blood vessels within the gills.

Their bodies also contain an internal swim bladder filled with gas, which allows them to maintain buoyancy while they move around comfortably under water.

“A fish’s swim bladder is its own personal floatation device – much like a life jacket – keeping it upright and at the right depth.”

The typical osmotic concentration inside most fishes’ bodies is higher than outside (in freshwater). This means they can efficiently handle high salt concentrations so long as there’s sufficient fresh water available for dilution purposes whenever necessary.

This brings us back to why fishes cannot survive out of oceanic/ freshwaters?

“The moment fishes are removed from any natural body of freshwater/ocean where they originally belong; they fail terribly because all-important organs such as kidney responsible for eliminating salts/waste products fail abruptly due starvation.”

In essence, Fish cannot regulate essential chemical properties similar if not entirely different external environments without physiological stress.

Your household aquariums usually mix tap-water plus refinement chemicals — Sometimes Reverse Osmosis (RO) mixture applied during production of R/O pure drinking bottled greenwater provides better results but unnecessary.

“Fish require specific optimal chemical and physical conditions of water structure which is only achievable in their natural environment.”

Another critical parameter fishes cannot survive without (aside from oxygen) is temperature –a vital requirement for sensory, physiological function hence the reason they face drastic negative outcomes once conjoined to rivers/lakes/ wetlands environments outside its ecological habitat.

“Your backyard fish pond may present a hospitable environment or with sustaining food sources for your pet creatures but faces an adverse diversity loss effect if fully integrated under extreme effects against pollutants emanating around it.”

Without water, fish would quickly become dehydrated and die.

Fish are remarkably adapted to their aquatic environment. Their physical characteristics such as gills for respiration and streamlined bodies make them well-suited to life underwater. But the need for water goes beyond just living in it; fish require water for several reasons that relate to their survival.

A vital reason why fish can’t survive on land is dehydration. Fish rely on osmosis to control the movement of fluids between their body cells and surrounding water. This process only works when there’s a constant intake of freshwater – if they’re out of the water for too long or exposed to air, then these fluids start leaving the fish’s body instead of entering it, making them rapidly dehydrated.

“Fish are specifically designed physiologically so that keeping hydrated in saltwater is relatively easy but without access to plentiful amounts of fluid around them (freshwater), most species will not last more than hours.” – Dr. Craig McClain

This dependence leads us back to another important aspect required by fish – oxygen, which also comes from their underwater world. Gills allow oxygen transfer through direct contact with dissolved gases in water allowing breathing while submerged only; lungs won’t function optimally here due unknown conditions compared since breathing atmospheric air requires much energy unlike taking free-dispersed molecules like O2 in H2O Using lungs at this cost makes less sense ex: drowning-like choking sensation effect

“The rigidity of our ribs inhibits lateral expansion needed during gulping capacities demanded by environmental pressure changes in deep-sea habitats – ultimately its futility reduces time divers can do necessary work under natural max suppression” – David Lonsdale”

The other challenge faced by fish when taken out from their habitat involves temperature change regulations and metabolic rates after experiencing upwards of temperature spikes or descend drops from the sun’s rays thus making it difficult to maintain their life balance causing death in a matter of hours.

The requirement for water is so important that fish have evolved unique adaptations both outside and inside their bodies better suited to sustain them in aquatic surroundings. While some can survive out of water temporarily by gulping air, twisting around on wet rocks, swimming through mud while some species are not suitable at all.
