* Fins: All fish use fins for movement and stability in the water.
* Scales: Most fish have scales for protection, though some have evolved to have different coverings like bony plates.
* Gills: This is the key to aquatic respiration. Gills extract oxygen from water.
* Lungs: While some fish have evolved lungs (like lungfish), this is not a universal characteristic of all fish.
