  2. Aquatic locomotion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquatic_locomotion

    Depending on their needs, fish can rapidly alternate between synchronized fin beats and alternating fin beats. [20] According to Guinness World Records 2009, Hippocampus zosterae (the dwarf seahorse) is the slowest moving fish, with a top speed of about 5 feet (150 cm) per hour. [21]

  3. Fish locomotion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fish_locomotion

    Fish in the order Gymnotiformes possess electric organs along the length of their bodies and swim by undulating an elongated anal fin while keeping the body still, presumably so as not to disturb the electric field that they generate. Many fish swim using combined behavior of their two pectoral fins or both their anal and dorsal fins.

  4. Aeoliscus strigatus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeoliscus_strigatus

    The razorfish is easily identifiable due to its particular body shape as well as its way of moving in synchronised groups, head down. It is a small fish with a maximum size of 15 cm (5.9 in) long, and its body is stretched, ending with a fine, long "beak". Its fins are considerably reduced and transparent. The dorsal surface of the razorfish is ...

  5. Amphibious fish - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphibious_fish

    This suborder of fish also use a labyrinth organ to breathe air. Some species from this group can move on land. Amphibious fish from this family are the climbing perches, African and Southeast Asian fish that are capable of moving from pool to pool over land by using their pectoral fins, caudal peduncle, and gill covers as a means of locomotion.

  6. Walking fish - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walking_fish

    A walking fish, or ambulatory fish, is a fish that is able to travel over land for extended periods of time. Some other modes of non-standard fish locomotion include "walking" along the sea floor , for example, in handfish or frogfish .

  7. Opah - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opah

    In addition to the heat they generate while moving, these muscles have special regions that can generate additional heat without contracting. [9] The opah has a thick layer of fat that insulates its internal organs and cranium from the surrounding water. However, fat alone is insufficient to retain heat within a fish's body.

  8. Mudskipper - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mudskipper

    Digging deep burrows in soft sediments allows the fish to thermoregulate, [14] avoid marine predators during the high tide when the fish and burrow are submerged, [15] and lay their eggs. [16] When the burrow is submerged, several mudskipper species maintain an air pocket inside it, which allows them to breathe in conditions of very low oxygen ...

  9. Walking catfish - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walking_catfish

    This fish normally lives in slow-moving and often stagnant waters in ponds, swamps, streams, and rivers, as well as in flooded rice paddies, or temporary pools that may dry up. When this happens, its "walking" skill allows the fish to move to other aquatic environments.
