However, there are a few things that might make you think of fish "sunbathing":
* Some fish like to bask in shallow water: Fish like catfish and carp sometimes move into shallow water where the sun warms the water a bit. This might look like sunbathing, but they are actually just enjoying the warmer temperatures.
* Some fish are attracted to light: Certain fish, like some types of sharks, are drawn to light, especially at night. They might be seen near the surface of the water near a light source, but they aren't actually basking in the sun.
So, while fish don't sunbathe in the same way we do, they are affected by the sun and sometimes seek out areas where it warms the water.
