    The document discusses the fish digestive system. It has an alimentary canal consisting of a mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, and intestine. The stomach uses acid and enzymes like pepsin and HCl for mechanical digestion. The pancreas and liver secrete enzymes and bile to raise the pH in the intestine for further alkaline digestion by enzymes.
