Fish Facts
  1. Most fish reproduce by laying eggs, though some fish, such as great white sharks, give birth to live babies called pups.
  2. Lungfish can live out of water for several years. It secretes a mucus cocoon and burrows itself under the unbaked earth. It takes in air with its lung through a built-in breathing tube that leads to the surface. A lungfish has both gills and a lung.
  3. Some fish, such as the great white shark, can raise their body temperature. This helps them hunt for prey in cold water.
  4. The oldest known age for a fish was an Australian lungfish. In 2003, it was still alive and well at 65 years old.
  5. Fish use a variety of low-pitched sounds to convey messages to each other. They moan, grunt, croak, boom, hiss, whistle, creak, shriek, and wail. They rattle their bones and gnash their teeth. However, fish do not have vocal chords. They use other parts of their bodies to make noises, such as vibrating muscles against their swim bladder.
  6. Fish can form schools containing millions of fish. They use their eyes and something called a lateral line to hold their places in the school. The lateral line is a row of pores running along the fish’s sides from head to tail. Special hairs in the pores sense changes in water pressure from the movements of other fish or predators.
