DIFFERENT TYPES OF FISHIES

1. CATFISH
Catfish are a collection of species that are members
of about 35 different fish families. They are
distinguished by their barbels, which are whisker-
like feelers that are usually situated on the top part
of their mouths (the upper mandible). Catfish live
both in fresh and salt waters.

2. TUNA

Tuna are large, saltwater fish species (consisting


of the Katsuwonus, Auxis, and Thunnus genera,
among others) that can swim up to 43 miles per
hour and weigh up to 2,000 pounds. Noted as a
highly popular commercial fish, the tuna can swim
great distances to feed and spawn.

3. SHARKS

Sharks are cartilaginous fish whose species can


inhabit both saltwater and freshwater (like the
Speartooth and Bull sharks) areas. Though many
of the over 500 shark species are harmless, some
are known to attack humans, such as the Tiger,
Lemon, Blue, Great White, and Mako sharks.
4. CARP

Carp are freshwater fish species that are bony fish


and have skin that is large-scaled in appearance.
The Common Carp (Cyprinus carpio) is a species
native to eastern European seas (like the Caspian
and Aral) and rivers, but was introduced to the
U.S. in the early 1830s and is now widespread
there.

5. SALMON

In the Pacific, there are seven known species of


Salmon. These include the Chinook, Pink,
Sockeye, Chum, Amago, Masu, and Coho. Of
these, five are found off the North American
coast, whereas two (the Amago and Masu) are
found off the coast of Asia. Salmon can travel as
much as 1000 miles to feed.
