What else can I help you with?
Why do fishes die when they come out of water even though oxygen is present in the atmosphere?
Fishes gills are designed only to extract oxygen when submerged. There is oxygen in water also, but our lungs cannot extract it.
Where do fishes get oxygen when they breath?
fish have gills to breath so yeah
How can water in the aquarium sustain the oxygen needed for breathing by the fishes?
By using an air stone or a filter that adds oxygen to the water.
Do fish use oxygen or carbon dioxide?
Fishes use Oxygen in water. They absorb the absorbed oxygen through their gills.
Does oxygen rich water flows over the gills?
Water enters a fishes gill, but as the water flows across the gills, oxygen inside the water diffuses into the fishes blood stream. At the same time, carbon dioxide from the bloodstream diffuses out into the water
What takes place in gills?
Fishes extract the oxygen from the water that goes through the gills.
How do whales die on land?
Fishes breathe by taking in dissolved oxygen from water.When the fishes are not able to get considerable amount of oxygen in the atmosphere.Hence, due to lack of oxygen they die.
Do tadpoles and fishes have gill?
Gills allow them to filter oxygen out of the water, so that they can breathe underwater.
What are water breathing fish called?
fishes. All fishes breath in the water. They cannot survive outside of water except for few fishes which have adapted to breath air like the mud skipper fish. The only reason fishes are able to breath under water is because of their gills
How are thermal pollution and artificial eutrophication similar?
both depleate the oxygen in the water and kill fishes ... poor fishes
What would happen if oxygen mixed with water?
Oxygen IS soluble in water... how else do you think the fishes are breathing? Edit: This is the correct answer. Oxygen has poor solubility in water. When you bubble the gas through water, it will exit water unchanged in form. Fishes do not literally "breathe" underwater. The sea is rich in oxygen, when the fishes open their mouth, sea water rushes in. The gills will then open when the mouth closes. When sea water exits from the fish's gill, oxygen is absorbed into the bloodstream via OSMOSIS by the blood vessels.
Can there be too much dissolved oxygen in water for fish to survive?
No. There can not be too much oxygen in a fishes water. If a fish is swimming upside down and it is not of a species known for doing that, then the fish has a damaged swim bladder. The fish is very sick and will die.
