Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Explanation: Abiotic factors for fish is water, temperature, amount of dissolved oxygen in water, etc. Penetration of sunlight is also important in fresh water habitat. Biotic factors are predators, disease causing organisms, organisms available as food, population density of competitors, etc.
