What is the plural of fish?
Dear teacher, In my girls homework on marine life, we stumbled upon a list labeled "Plural of Fish?" Unsure whether to write "fish" or "fishes," I thought it best to seek your expertise.

Hello!
Fish and fishes are both acceptable plural forms of fish. Fish is the more commonly used plural, and can be used regardless of how many species are present. Fishes tends to be used as a plural when there are more than one species, especially in scientific settings.
I hope this helps!
