Answer:

Protects the fish from their environment.

Step-by-step explanation:

Fish have a mucus on their outer covering that is very slimy and slippery; this serves as a benefit for the fish that will allow it to swim more easily in water.

It also works as a little suit of armor for the fish to protect themselves against predators.
