  2. Fish fin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fish_fin

    A fish can have up to three dorsal fins. The dorsal fins serve to protect the fish against rolling, and assist it in sudden turns and stops. The bones that support the dorsal fin are called pterygiophores. There are two to three of them: "proximal" (axonosts), "middle" (baseosts), and "distal".

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fish_anatomy

    A peculiar function of pectoral fins, highly developed in some fish, is the creation of the dynamic lifting force that assists some fish such as sharks in maintaining depth and also enables the "flight" for flying fish. Certain rays of the pectoral fins may be adapted into finger-like projections, such as in sea robins and flying gurnards.

  4. Fishfinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fishfinder

    Fathometer sonar. A fishfinder or sounder (Australia) is an instrument used to locate fish underwater by detecting reflected pulses of sound energy, as in sonar.A modern fishfinder displays measurements of reflected sound on a graphical display, allowing an operator to interpret information to locate schools of fish, underwater debris, and the bottom of a body of water.

  5. Dorsal fin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorsal_fin

    Dorsal fin of a shark. A dorsal fin is a fin located on the back of most marine and freshwater vertebrates within various taxa of the animal kingdom.Many species of animals possessing dorsal fins are not particularly closely related to each other, though through convergent evolution they have independently evolved external superficial fish-like body plans adapted to their marine environments ...

  6. Fin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fin

    Fins typically function as foils that produce lift or thrust, or provide the ability to steer or stabilize motion while traveling in water, air, or other fluids. Fins are also used to increase surface areas for heat transfer purposes, or simply as ornamentation. [2][3] Fins first evolved on fish as a means of locomotion.

  7. Fish locomotion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fish_locomotion

    Fish locomotion. Fish locomotion is the various types of animal locomotion used by fish, principally by swimming. This is achieved in different groups of fish by a variety of mechanisms of propulsion, most often by wave-like lateral flexions of the fish's body and tail in the water, and in various specialised fish by motions of the fins.
