  1. Caudal Fin: Provides thrust and propulsion for swimming.
  2. Scale: Protects the skin and reduces water resistance.
  3. Spiny Fin: Offers stability and maneuverability in water.
  4. Gill (under the gill cover): Extracts oxygen from water for respiration.
  5. Eye: Allows for vision and navigation in the aquatic environment.
  6. Nostril: Aids in the sense of smell.
  7. Mouth: Used for feeding and capturing prey.
  8. Gill Cover: Protects the gills and aids in respiration.
  9. Anal Fin: Stabilizes the fish while swimming.
