As all living creatures, fish included, need to have the spirit of life to, well be alive and for their brain to function. It takes that God given spark from the spirit given at the first breath or they would never be actually alive.

Just wanted to point out that there are so many types of sea animals, fish is only one of them.
Some of the sea animals are simple animals, e.g. sponges, corals, jellyfish, clams, oysters, starfish, sea urchins, sand dollars, etc. They don't have a brain. They have no nervous system and respiratory system.

It's interesting that in genesis 1:30, it talks about "everything that has the breath of life", but sea creatures are not mentioned.

Gen 1:30 And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground--everything that has the breath of life in it--I give every green plant for food." And it was so.



--- Quote from: Dennis Vogel on February 26, 2016, 11:15:57 PM ---But I have wondered about Gen 3:20 because we know there were humans before Adam and Eve.

(ASV)  And the man called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.

(CLV)  And calling is the human his wife's name Eve, for she becomes the mother of all the living.

(KJV)  And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.

(Rotherham)  So the man called the name of his wife, Eve,—in that, she, was made mother of every one living.

(YLT)  And the man calleth his wife's name Eve: for she hath been mother of all living.

I've wondered about Gen 3:20 too, I don't think it means Eve was literally the mother of the whole human race or Adam's line. 
When God first brought Eve to Adam, Adam called her Woman (capital W), she wasn't literally bone his bones, flesh of his flesh either.
It was after they ate the fruit, death passed upon all men, then Adam renamed her Eve, aka mother of all living. Ironic, isn't it?
But then Jesus was the seed of Adam and Eve, He will bring back life to all humans.
God's plan of salvation is for all mankind, including the humans before Adam, but it didn't start until Adam/Eve came to life.
We know that Adam wasn't deceived to eat the fruit, and it seems to me, Adam also understood God's plan very well, he didn't complain even thought the punishment was too much to bear, instead, he immediately named his wife Eve, mother of all living, as if he knew that through their seed, Jesus, all mankind will live again.
