Fish

Fish were a variety of water-dwelling animal found on Earth and many other planets.

Fish on Earth

On Earth, fish swam in water. (TV: Listen)

Uses

On Earth, fish and chips were often served as food. (TV: The Rebel Flesh)

Fishing, the sport of catching fish, was a popular pastime enjoyed by the Doctor. (TV: The Androids of Tara, The Two Doctors)

History

In Victorian times, showmen used to draw the crowds by taking the skull of a cat, glueing it to a fish and calling it a mermaid. The Ninth Doctor compared the Slitheen's Space Pig with this trick while explaining the Space Pig's true nature to Toshiko Sato. (TV: Aliens of London)

Leela prods dead fish on Fang Rock. (TV: Horror of Fang Rock)

In the 1900s, when Fang Rock rock was engulfed in fog during a Rutan scouting mission, Leela found dead fish floating in a pool of water and poked them with her knife. The Fourth Doctor attributed their deaths to an electrical field present on the island. (TV: Horror of Fang Rock)

In 2011, due to an alien totem pole, fish started raining from the sky. (TV: The Curse of Clyde Langer)

In 2013, many fish in Ambermouth harbour died overnight due to the presence of silicon quartz in the water. Gulls gorged on the bodies until they couldn't fly. (AUDIO: Eldrad Must Die!)

Undated events

The Twelfth Doctor once observed the "perfect defence" of a puffer fish when questioning as to whether there could be such a thing as "perfect hiding". (TV: Listen)

Types of fish on Earth

Fish were common in Earth's seas, rivers and lakes. Types of fish included:

Elsewhere in the Universe

Like on Earth, fish could be found beneath the seas of other planets. Aaglon sharks were native to the waters of the planet Olleril. (PROSE: Tragedy Day) Fugora fish lived in the seas of Megerra. (PROSE: Mean Streets)

In Sardicktown, fish existed which were able to swim through fog, making it appear as if they were flying. The Eleventh Doctor encountered numerous sky fish and a sky shark in the town. (TV: A Christmas Carol)

Universally, some fish could be eaten. The Gumblejack was considered one of the tastiest fish in Mutter's Spiral. (TV: The Two Doctors)

References

Whilst dressed as Sherlock Holmes, the Eleventh Doctor asked one of Walter Simeon's servants if he had a fish called Colin. When he said "no", the Doctor said he didn't think he had. (TV: The Snowmen)

While serving as a governess under the alias Miss Montegue, Clara Oswald claimed to her young charges in 1892 that she invented fish so she wouldn't be alone while swimming. (TV: The Snowmen)
