Fish is observer and bird is object.

Apparent distance between \mathrm{F} and \mathrm{B} at some instant will be,
\mathrm{y=\left ( x+\mu h \right )}
\mathrm{\begin{aligned} & \left(-\frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dt}}\right)=\left(-\frac{\mathrm{dx}}{\mathrm{dt}}\right)+(\mu)\left(-\frac{\mathrm{dh}}{\mathrm{dt}}\right) \\ & 9=3+\frac{4}{3}\left(-\frac{\mathrm{dh}}{\mathrm{dt}}\right) \\ & \therefore \quad-\frac{\mathrm{dh}}{\mathrm{dt}}=4.5 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s} \end{aligned}}
