Fish
Fish are aquatic vertebrates that are  cold-blooded, covered with scales, and equipped with two sets of paired fins and several unpaired fins. Fish are abundant in the sea and in fresh water, with species being known from mountain streams (e.g., char and gudgeon) as well as in the deepest depths of the ocean (e.g., gulpers and anglerfish). They are of tremendous importance as food for people around the world, either collected from the wild (see fishing) or farmed in much the same way as cattle or chickens (see aquaculture). Fish are also exploited for recreation, through angling and fishkeeping, and fish are commonly exhibited in public aquaria. Fish have an important role in many cultures through the ages, ranging as widely as deities and religious symbols to subjects of books and popular movies.

Fish (disambiguation)
Fish are vertebrates with gills that live in water. The word may also apply to the fish as food or to the act of fishing, either commercially or for recreation. The fisheries industry also recognises white fishoily fishinkfish, and shellfish, though these are not taxonomic groups. A variety of animals that are not actually fish have the word as part of their name for etymological or commercial reasons, such as shellfishjellyfishcuttlefishcrawfish, and crayfish.
