Amphibious fish

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because the aquatic environment is of great interest for me and my future career. I want to go into oceanography or a like-minded field. Amphibious fish are an important part of the aquatic environment, and they play a vital role in their surroundings. When I first read the article, I was really intrigued. Fish typically do not leave their aquatic surroundings, so finding fish that could leave the water and survive was extremely interesting. I was also really impressed with how much I learned about these fish and how many types of amphibious fish there are.

The article overall lacked a good amount of information. Fundamentally, the article was sound. It stayed on-topic and directly addressed the topic of amphibious fish. The information and research was current and up-to-date as well, and there was no misleading information included. The information was presented in a non-biased manner, and it gave purely facts. All of the citations and references came from valid and reliable sources as well. Despite all of the good parts of the article, the article overall lacked a certain amount of substances. The author skimmed over the background and history of the amphibious fish, which annoyed me because I had an interest in this topic. However, the author did not expect the reader to have a thorough knowledge of the covered material. Rather, they quickly summarized the specific information about amphibious fish and moved onto listing the various types of amphibious fish.
