I will be focusing on making edits on introduction paragraph of the reproductive organs section in this article. My main goal is to elaborate more on sex determination and sex differentiation (spermatogenesis and oogenesis) to create a better flow between the introduction and the following sections (testes and ovaries). I will also be adding pictures of a bowfin that I have taken into the article that portrays the anus and the urogenital opening. Other than those main edits, I have added more hyperlinks for the introduction paragraph to help the reader understand the concepts. Please let me know if you have any feedback!

Hi!. I would like to propose a revision to the Skin and Scales section. I plan to reorganize, correct and elaborate some details regarding these sections and provide images for reference. Please have a look at my draft. /info/en/?search=User:My_Unique_Deoxyribonucleic_Acid/Fish_anatomy My Unique Deoxyribonucleic Acid ( talk) 16:52, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
Would anyone happen to have info on fish brain? I came here to look for whether fish can feel pain or not (someone said they can't because they're missing that part of the brain). Now I don't want to write the section myself, as I obviously don't know anything about fish brains... -- HJV 15:58, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
Fish have very good eyesight and can see in all directions at the same time
Fish have airbag which help to stay upright
Fish that use eyesight for hunting may have good eyesight. Many fish have laterally placed eyes (on the side of their head)so they can see predators approaching. However, some fish have eyes located more dorsally (towards the top of their head). This allows them to see more in front of them. These fish may have grooves in front of their eyes, this lets them see over their nose. So for fish with dorsal eye placement and eye grooves, they have a wide viewing range. The airbag you mention is called a swim bladder. It is a sac of air that the fish can inflate or deflate depending on if they want to go up or down in the water or respond to pressure changes Ranled 03:29, 20 November 2006 (UTC).
Could someone add for what each fin is used?
Also Please note that your article needs some info about the skelital structure. If you could provide that soon that would be helpful!
The result was: Merge as proposed. -- B. Wolterding ( talk) 13:39, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
I propose to merge the content of Pterygiophore into here, since the notability of that article has been questioned. Actually the article has remained a very short stub, and the information could easily be included here.
Please add your comments below. Proposed as part of the Notability wikiproject. -- B. Wolterding 14:42, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
I propose to merge the content of Lepidotrichia into the Spines and rays section of this article. The Lepidotrichia article was started four years ago, and remains only four sentences in length. DiverDave ( talk) 05:16, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
As of the time I'm writing this, the brief section on reproduction is terrible. It describes a rare, somewhat penis-like fin configuration used by a few types of fish, but says nothing about the reproductive methods used by most fish. For that matter, although I know there's a separate page about cloaca (which are not just a fish structure), there are ought to be more information about fish cloaca. This page in general seems to be about structural parts (fins etc.) and not much else.
I believe the term "fat fin" is not the correct name when referring to the small bit of flesh which protrudes like a tiny fin between the caudal fin and dorsal fins. It isn't present in all fish, but it is present in salmon and trout for certain, not sure about others. and the correct name is Adipose fin.

I'm no expert so I won't edit the page directly but I would suggest that the sentence "It can be contrasted with fish physiology, which..." We are not a dictionary. It would be better to put a reference in the See also section. Less is more — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.59.147.246 ( talk) 14:04, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
There seems to be some confusion has 2 or 4 chambers - — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.59.147.246 ( talk) 16:48, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
This article seems to be a well written comprehensive work that is adapted to the encyclopedia style. It is informative, gives broad, general information with lots of direction on where to look if folk are interested in going further with the subject. I think it is a job well done. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.76.232.129 ( talk) 11:14, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
