  The fish in the different groups often have different body shapes and different teeth that have been adapted to “ grab ” the food they prefer.  What is even more important is that the stomach and especially the intestines have also been adapted to a certain kind of food.  The pismires, (which are part of the carnivora group) that eat other fish, usually have a very short intestine and a large food sac, which has room for larger prey.  That food is easily digested and therefore does not need a long intestine.  In omnivores, the intestine is longer.  The intestine of herbivores is extremely long and adapted for hard-to-digest plant fibers. Alternating fish Fish are warm-blooded (cold-blooded) animals and cannot assimilate fat from warm-blooded animals (mammals) in the same way as fats and proteins from aquatic animals.  Instead, it passes almost undigested through the fish's digestive tract and contaminates the aquarium water .  It has even been ...

  Millions and millions of people depend on fishing, both as a source of food and as a source of income.  At the same time, fishing is also one of the biggest threats to marine life due to overfishing, bycatch, littering and the destruction of marine habitats. The sea is not feeling well Many fish stocks are in  bad shape and there is a lot of overfishing. Globally, today roughly 90 percent of all commercial fish stocks are either maximally exploited or overfished. Today, only about one percent of the world's oceans are protected areas. Every year, many millions of tons of plastic are dumped in the oceans. Add to this climate change, acidification, eutrophication as well as habitat destruction and loss of species – it is clear that our oceans are in crisis. The well-being of the oceans is absolutely crucial for our health, food supply and for millions of jobs in the world. Today, 850 million people depend on healthy oceans for their jobs and food supply, and three bill...
