20. COMPOSITION AND
STRUCTURE OF A FISH

21. 1. Scales protect fish from injury, much like skin on the human
body
2. The eyes of a fish have large round pupils which do not vary in
size.
3. Gills A fish “breathes” by closing the gills and opening its mouth
to take in water.
4. Fins are usually the most distinctive anatomical features of
a fish. Fins located in different places on the fish serve different
purposes such as moving forward, turning, keeping an upright
position or stopping. Most fish use fins when swimming
5. The mouth serves for taking in food; also for the breathing
current of water
6. Tail use for moving forward and stopping and swimming

22. A fish is made up of water, protein, fats and small amount
of minerals and vitamins. It has very little connective
tissue. This means that:
1. Fish cooks very quickly even at low heat.
2. Fish is naturally tender. High heat will result to
toughening of protein.
