Habitat, is simply, the location where a fish lives. It applies to any and all life stages. It is where a fish survives, feeds, grows, and reproduces. The habitat of a fish depends on the species, from wetlands, to rivers, to coral reefs, to lakes, and more.
Most fish do require well-oxygenated water. But, there are a few exceptions in which fish have evolved to tolerate low oxygen conditions or even low water conditions. Mudskippers (family Gobiidae; subfamily Oxudercinae), for example, are amphibious fish that are adapted to intertidal zones. Some live in mud flat habitat that is only covered in water at high tides.
