IF ITS IN THE OCEAN ITS IN SOME RIVER SOMEWHERE

[fwlion]

my friend has been tryin to prove me wrong for a long time I say 98 IF NOT 100% OF THE FISH IN THE OCEAN

CAN BE FOUND IN SOME (SHAPE, FORM, OR FASHION) IN A FRESHWATER OR BRACKISHWATER BODY OF WATER SOMEWHERE AROUND THE WORLD

THE ONLY THING I HAVEN'T HEARD OF BEING IN BW or FW are CEPLOPODS (SP?) OCTOPUS, SQUIDS, CUTTLEFISH ETC.....

BUT ANYTHING ELSE YES

SHARKS- RIVER SHARKS, Bagarius evolutions FW wobbiegong, bull sharks, etc....

ANGLERS- Twinspot Anglerfish he is brackishwater and has the "lure" and modified hands and feet

INVERTS- there are FW mushrooms and sponges

STINGRAYS (OF COURSE)

FLOUNDERS (OF COURSE)

TOADFISH- WE CALL THEM FW LIONFISH THE GRUNNIES

GROUPERS- you can look at it like EVOLUTION OSCARS, ALL OTHER CICHLIDS, plus the bumble bee grouper

ETC......

I'M JUST HAVING FUN NOT TO BE SCIENTIFICALLY 100% ACCURATE BUT DO

FILL FREE TO ADD YOUR I HAVE MORE BUT DIDN'T WANT TO BORE Y'ALL

yes I'm sure there are species of saltwater fish that have freshwater relatives.. ...like trout for instance.. speckled trout was a mainstay of my surf and flats fishing in South Texas..

I think your friend is talking specifically about BRACKISH fish.. like the bull shark, which can travel from saltwater to freshwater and back again without perishing.

I could be wrong.. but I could be right too. *shrug*

 

[sclabman]

what about clownfish? (nemo fish)

 

[synapse989]

only thing I know about clownfish is that sharks don't eat them..

^is that true.......... pretty weird if it is

 

[Gonzaga]

Marlin. Tuna. There are so many different species of fish that you will never find in freshwater or an equivelant to.

I think you may be correct to say many SW fish orders have BW or FW representatives, but once you start narrowing down to families you are going to lose that argument. For example, the order Beloniformes has FW representatives in the Family Belonidae (i.e. FW needle fishes) however the family Exocoetidae (flying fishes) is strictly marine. The same applies to the Class Chondrichthyes, the subclass Holocephali are strictly marine (if you know of a FW chimaera stop holding back), but the subclass Elasmobranchii has FW representatives. It all depends on what level you are looking at.

Gotta love taxonomy, thanks Linnaeus
