 This week I learned the fundamentals about the 3 main classes of fish and how versatile each one in each subcategory can be, such as the diversity in their fins and scales. It's interesting how each one is shaped differently, which affects their anatomy, which in turn may affect things like how they eat and how they swim, such as flatfish. I liked how flatfish swim like normal fish as juveniles but end up choosing a side later on that makes them more flat and changes the way the move. Additionally, I learned about taking weather conditions into account when studying the ocean. This can help one better prepare for fishing, such as by knowing that upwelling zones call for better fishing zones.
