I don't know about the ocean, but marine fish in an aquarium can live for decades. A short life span for a marine aquarium fish is between 1 and 2 years. I currently have a seven year old clown fish in my tank.

I don't know about in the ocean, but I have Fruit Painted Tetras that have a life span of six months. I've had them alive and well for 5 years now.

There is a huge range of answers to this questions. Different species live different lengths.
Basically from months to many years.
Just like aquarium fish. Some live lives less than a year. Others have been known to live over 50yrs.

LIFE SPAN is about a year... it depends upon the species of a fish... you did not clarify....
say like tiny fish has a life span...mere 8 weeks about....unlike rock fish has a long span...it depends upon how they live beneath and how they handle pressure.

It differs and theyre so many things that can afffect it like water acidity and populautions and then the type of fish it is. and fish's eyes dont roll up behind its head they die with their eyes open then other fish bottom feeders crabs abd stuff eat it

I'd post this question over at the zoology board. Someone is bound to know there.
