What are dead fish called?
Fish go through a number of physical changes after they die, starting with rigor mortis as the muscles stiffen and then the body enters a state of decomposition. When a fish dies, its cells start to break down and the body begins to decompose. This process is accelerated by the presence of bacteria and other microorganisms, which feed on the fish's tissues. As the fish decomposes, its body will start to bloat and the skin will become discolored. The eyes will cloud over and the gills will turn pale. The fish's flesh will also become soft and mushy. Once the fish has fully decomposed, its body will disintegrate and only the bones and scales will remain. These bones and scales can be used to identify the type of fish that died.
