Actually, the question started out as "do fish drink water?" & quickly
 grew.  (This is a class question.)  We figured they do need water but
 do they get it through their mouth, gill function, or through food
 sources?  Additionally, we wanted to know if the salt in ocean water
 is somehow filtered out, or is it just not harmful to a fish like it
is for a human.  We really did try to find out on our own!
Thanks in advance,
Mrs. Swyka's 4th grade class
