Fun Fish Facts

[Image]: Woodsy Owl Ecosystems
An ECOSYSTEM is made up of the interaction of all living organisms (like animals, plants, and bugs) in an area with all of the non-living organisms (like water, dirt, rocks, and the sun).

Fish and Water
When it rains, where does the WATER go? How can you tell the difference between different kinds of FISH? Some fish live in both FRESH water and SALT water. These are called "Anadromous" Fish. You can see some examples of Anadromous fish on the FISH page!

This web site will answer these and other questions about water and fish, especially in the Willamette National Forest.

Aquatic Insects
Some people don't like bugs very much, but fish sure do! AQUATIC INSECTS make up a huge part of some fishes' diets! That's why fly fishermen use flies that are imitations of bugs--they're really trying to fool the fish into thinking that their hook is a tasty fly!
