Emergence definition

An anadromous fish that migrates between ocean and freshwater rivers for reproduction, building on the concept of environment, a complex network of living and non-living components that interact and influence one another within a specific geographical area, and the concept of fish, a biological entity that builds upon the multicellular organization of an animal, interacting with and responding to its environment, and is sustained by the essential property of water.
