Explanation
A fish is an animal that lives in water and breathes through gills. People catch fish for food, sport, or keeping in aquariums. Fish come in many sizes, shapes, and colours, like goldfish, salmon, and sharks. Fish can swim using fins and tails. In cooking, fish is eaten grilled, fried, or boiled. “Fish” can also be used as a verb, meaning to try to catch fish. Children sometimes go fishing in rivers or ponds as a fun activity or hobby. Fish are important in nature for the balance of water ecosystems.
