fish habitat

Fish habitat refers to the environment that provides the essential conditions for fish to live, grow, feed, reproduce, and thrive. It includes factors like water quality, temperature, flow, depth, and the availability of food, shelter, and spawning areas. Healthy habitats are vital for sustaining fish populations and maintaining ecological balance. Human activities such as pollution, construction, and damming can degrade these habitats, threatening fish survival. Protecting and restoring fish habitats ensures healthier ecosystems and supports both aquatic life and the communities that rely on fisheries.
