the respiratory medium of aquatic and terrestrial organisms are water and air respectively.Aquatic animals get oxygen dissolved in water while terrestrial animals get oxygen from atmospheric air.The oxygen content of air is much higher then the oxygen content of water.The ventilation in water is far more difficult than the ventilation in air because water is denser then air. Thus air is the better respiratory medium then water.
