Movement produced by myomeresMovement produced by myomeres Fish and Shark Digestion SystemFish and Shark Digestion System –Food path: Esophagus Stomach, Typically a curved J shape Intestine (Pyloric caecae) –Sharks have spiral valve to increase digestion Circulatory SystemCirculatory System –2 Chambered heart Atrium or AuricleAtrium or Auricle VentricleVentricle

Fish ColorationFish Coloration –Use color for camo –Color is produced by special skin cells called chromatophores –May also have structural color, which is reflective of some colors

Fish Coloration –Color can be used for Warning or advertisementWarning or advertisement Cryptic colorCryptic color –Blends in with the enviroment Disruptive colorationDisruptive coloration –Breaks up outline of fish –Harder for predators to see Counter shadingCounter shading –Dark top, light bottom

Locomotion Reasons for locomotionReasons for locomotion –Obtain food –Escape –Find mate Rhythmic side to side of body or tailRhythmic side to side of body or tail
