What are Different adaptations in fish to survive in the aquatic habitat?


Fish have three major adaptations that help them to survive in water. They are gills, fins, and a streamlined body.

●     Gills

Gills are part of the respiratory system and they help fish take the dissolved oxygen in from the surrounding water.

●     Fins

Fins are limb-like structures which help the fish swim and propel their body ahead.

●     Streamlined body

Fish have a streamlined body, that is, it’s tapering at ends and bulged at the centre. This

shape helps fish cut through the water and move effortlessly.
