I'm doing a science paper and I need to know how fish would affect the hydrosphere, as well as the geosphere, cryosphere, biosphere, and atmosphere.
Serious answers please (: thanks

Fish live, breathe, eat and die in the hydrosphere. Their carcases add fertilizer to the plankton and seaweed.
Geosphere fossilized fish are found here. Basically it is a record of the creatures thay lived up to 4 billion years ago.
Cryosphere, in order for fish to get into glaciers they had to be flying fish and unluckily flew smack into a glacier. But I doubt you find many fish there.
Biosphere, fish use up oxygen and or breathe out carbon dioxide. This bubbles out of the oceans into the air, but most of it is captured by sea plants which turn it back to oxygen. The oceans release way more oxygen and actually trap CO2.
Atmosphere, not much fish in atmosphere except the flying fish. Guess the effects would be the same as the biosphere.

An added note to Yikes' answer. Bears remove tons of fish from the hydrosphere and deposit them --- processed --- on the geosphere.
