do fish have ears?

Answer 1

They aren't exactly ears, and they don't exactly hear... Fish have a lateral line (running from their nose to their tail fin). This lateral line detects even the slightest vibrations in the water. They don't "hear" noise, but they do sense vibrations (sound is vibrations). The vibrations are interpreted by the fish as electromagnetic signals that are sent through nerves to their brain. The lateral line basically lets the fish know what is moving, where it is moving, and what direction it is moving.

Answer 2

the answer is contraversal because fish do have an ear like fucntion in them but their sense of hearing is pretty bad but a fish have a different sense that works like an ear to us they have electrostaic sensors all around them that detect water movment at very presise accuracy that tells them whats over there and whats here that their eyes arn't nessacerally paying attention to or is out of eye shot

Answer 3

No they don't, but they do have a lateral line system. The lateral line runs from the nose to the tail. It can detect the slightest of movements around it, and that's why it darts away when you tap the glass (if that's why you asked the question, please stop tapping the glass) :D
