WHAT DOES VENTRAL FIN MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Fish fin

Fish fins are the most distinctive features of a fish, composed of bony spines protruding from the body with skin covering them and joining them together, either in a webbed fashion, as seen in most bony fish, or similar to a flipper, as seen in sharks. Apart from the tail or caudal fin, fins have no direct connection with the spine and are supported by muscles only. Their principal function is to help the fish swim. Fins located in different places on the fish serve different purposes, such as moving forward, turning, keeping an upright position or stopping. Most fish use fins when swimming, flying fish use pectoral fins for gliding, and frogfish use them for crawling. Fins can also be used for other purposes; male killifish use a modified anal fin to deliver sperm, the thresher shark use its tail fin to stun prey, the reef stonefish has spines in its dorsal fin that inject venom, and triggerfish squeeze into coral crevices to avoid predators, and lock themselves in place with their spines.
