Fish S.P.

Solo summaries

A fish is an amazing creature. It lives in a dangerous, dark place called the ocean. It has many predators such as a shark or a larger fish, but often lives to an old age. Why? I will tell explain why the fish functions so well in water.

Firstly it has a caudal fin located on the back of the fish. The caudal fin helps to propel the fish in the water. So it can go forward and back. If it was removed, the fish would not be able to go forward or back. Secondly it has 2 dorsal fins located on the top of the fish. The first dorsal fin is hard but the second is softer. The dorsal fins are used for stability while swimming. If a fish didn’t have dorsal fins it would lose stability and fall over and die. The fish has 2 pectoral fins, one on both sides of the fish. They are used to go from side to side. If this was removed it would not be able to go from side to side. It would only go forward and back.

Last time I went to Australia I went snorkelling, we saw tonnes of colourful fish propelling along and ducking and diving and hovering.

Overall fish are so awesome because they have so many fins and they do so many different tricks and things.
