40
Cadual pendunca
attaches tail to the body in Ray finned fish
41
Actinopterygii: Ray-finned fishes
Ray-finned fishes have fin spines - Have scales instead of denticles - Have operculum that protects their gill slits - Many have homocercal tails
42
Buccal cavity
Allows them not to have to move SHrks
43
Anguilliform fishes
Are manoeuvrable, but slow | * Vibrate entier body
44
Thunniform fishes
* Are fast and efficient, but less manoeuvrable | * Virbrate tail with strong mussels
45
School vs shoal vs pod
* Schools: respond systematically to the approach of a predator, swim in same direction * Shoals: Social fish, stay together * Pod: More close togther
46
Gill rakers
help planktivores sieve phytoplankton form water flowing over their gills
47
Recruitment:
number of fish that survive to a certain age, is a key concern of fisheries managers
