What is the respiratory organ of fish?
Human beings breathe using our lungs. Oxygen goes into our blood and carbon dioxide goes out of our blood and into our lungs. When we breathe out we get rid of it. These gasses dissolve in our blood. In water there is dissolved oxygen. Fish don't have lungs; they have specially developed organs called gills. As water flows over the gills oxygen is absorbed and carbon dioxide can come out of the fish's blood through the delicate membrane of the gills. Some fish are able to pump water over their gills, which means that they can lie on the bottom or stay still in the water. Other fish need to keep moving to pass fresh water over their gills.
Why must there be a continuous flow of water across the gills of fish?
Water must flow with some regularity across the gills of fish for gas exchange to take place. This is essential if the fish is to stay alive. Oxygen is taken from the water by the gills, and carbon dioxide is put into the water. The gills of fish serve essentially the same function as the lungs of people.
Do all mammals except whales breath with lungs?

Rabbit have a lungs or gills?
Rabbits, like all mammals, have lungs, not gills. Lungs are the respiratory organs of mammals, including rabbits, and they are adapted for breathing air. Gills, on the other hand, are the respiratory organs of aquatic animals such as fish and some amphibians. Gills are specialized for extracting oxygen from water, whereas lungs are designed for extracting oxygen from the air. Rabbits breathe by inhaling air through their nostrils, which then passes into their lungs, where oxygen is exchanged with carbon dioxide in the blood.
