FISH
DNA sequence detection
Fish is a noun, verb, and sometimes an adjective.
As a noun, it denotes a class of aquatic vertebrates (some of which can live out of the water) that are cold-blooded and have fins.
The plural of fish is fish, but the regular plural, fishes, is used to distinguish different species.
If you fish or go fishing, you try to catch fish, typically with a rod and line.
If you fish for something, you search for it.
Someone fishing for information is trying to get it, usually by indirect questioning.
