Sharks are a fish. Fish have gills that extract oxygen directly from the water in which they live.
no, can you live under water for months with no oxygen. then think about fish they can live with out water.
Food water oxygen
It depends on what kind of fish, and the size of the aquarium.
A fish! Fish are the only animals with gills and most live in water.
No. Fish don't breathe air, but they still breathe oxygen, and there's no oxygen in space. They need oxygen just as much as we do; they just aquire it differently. The oxygen-rich water flows over their gills, and membranes in their gills absorb the oxygen from it and replace it with carbon dioxide.
Why do you live on land? Fish don't have lungs they have gills, when moving water is going through them the gills take the oxygen from the water and the fish breaths, no water = no oxygen = dead fish.
Fish need oxygen to live.
They need water Fish can not process oxygen the same way mammels do. They get their oxygen throu molecules in the water.
The size of the aquarium and the number of fish living in the aquarium determine the amount of oxygen that is needed. The temperature of the water also plays an important role to determine oxygen needs of fish. If the water is above 80 degrees, the need for oxygen increases.
Fish, like us, need oxygen to live. However they have gills to taken oxygen from water, whereas we have lungs to take oxygen from the air. Therefore, when fish get taken out of the water, as they don't have lungs they have no way to take in oxygen, so they die.
Fish, like all animals, require oxygen to live. They get their oxygen by filtering it out of the water using their gills, so you could say that they breathe water.
