| The question "How long do fish live?" is not as simple as it seems.There are thousands of different kinds of fishes,and they are quite different from each other in size and life period.What's more,it is not easy to find out just how long a fish lives in its natural state. We can find out how old a fish is by studying its scales,but we can not say how long more it would have lived if we had not caught it. We may keep fishes and record their life period but we can't be sure that this is the length of time they would have lived had they been left alone. We may make marking to show how fast the fishes grow so that we can calculate the age of the largest on record,but unless this large fish dies of old age we are still not in a position to know its natural life period. Unlike human beings,fishes do not stop growing when they have grown up.They continue to grow as long as they live,although the speed of growth slows down in mature fishes. | |
