Pinnanmuutokset
Pinnanmuutokset refers to changes in the fin shape, size, and structure of fish, which are adaptations to different environments and ecological niches. These changes can occur in three main forms: reduction, increase, and modification.
Reduction in fin size is a common adaptation, where smaller fins are more energy-efficient for fish swimming
In contrast, increases in fin size are often seen in fish that swim in weak or still
Modifications in fin structure also occur frequently. For instance, the fins of the gar fish (family Lepisosteidae)
Pinnanmuutokset provide valuable insights into the evolution and adaptability of fish, highlighting the importance of ecological
