Which of the following are the CORRECT characteristics of Pisces? (SELECT ALL CORRECT ANSWERS)

True or False- "There are over 30,000 species of Pisces, making them the most diverse group of vertebrates."

True

False

True or False-"Most Pisces breathe through gills, extracting oxygen from water. However, there are exceptions, such as lungfish and certain species of catfish, which can breathe air."

True

False

Which of the following is the Biomimicry from Pisces?

Sharkskin-inspired Surfaces: Inspiration: Sharkskin has tiny, tooth-like scales called denticles that help reduce drag and increase swimming efficiency. Application: Engineers have developed materials with a similar microtexture to reduce drag on surfaces like ship hulls and airplane wings, improving fuel efficiency.

Schooling Behavior: Inspiration: Fish, especially schooling species, exhibit coordinated movement patterns that help them navigate and avoid predators. Application: Autonomous vehicle algorithms have been developed based on the principles of schooling fish. This biomimicry approach aids in improving traffic flow and coordination in fleets of autonomous vehicles.

Lateral Line System: Inspiration: Fish have a lateral line system, a row of sensory organs along their bodies that detects changes in water pressure, helping them navigate and detect prey or predators. Application: Robotics and sensor technologies have been developed with a similar sensing mechanism, enabling underwater robots to navigate and detect changes in their environment.

ALL OF THE ABOVE

True or False-"Nutritional Value: Many fish species are rich in essential nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids, proteins, vitamins, and minerals. Including fish in the diet can contribute to heart health, brain function, and overall well-being."

True

False

True or False-"Overfishing: Overfishing can deplete fish populations, leading to ecological imbalances and threatening the livelihoods of those dependent on fishing industries."

True

False
