If I understand correctly then both "fishes" and "fish" are used to refer to fish of one type and to different types of fish too. But as you said "fishes" it is not standard form to use to refer to the same fish but it's still used. | |

| Feb 20, 2021 at 6:30 | comment | added | Antonia A | By "multiple types of fish" do mean different fish and by by "multiple individual fish" do you mean the same fish? Do scientists use "fishes" to refer to different types of fish only? | |
