I really don't know what you are refering to. The gills are covered by the operculum which are boney plates often called the gill plates. There is no thin membrane that I know of.

How and where is oxygen is obtained in the gills?

Oxygen is obtained by diffusion from water flowing over the gill membranes, where it dissolves in the thin, moist epithelial layer of the gills. This exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide occurs due to the difference in concentration gradients between the water and the blood vessels in the gills.

What structures enable fish to breathe?

Fish have gills, which are specialized structures that extract oxygen from water as it flows over them. Gills are made up of thin filaments with a rich blood supply that allows for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. Fish use their gills to absorb oxygen from the water and release carbon dioxide.

What happens when sound hits a thin membrane?

When sound hits a thin membrane, the membrane vibrates, causing it to produce sound waves in the air. The frequency of the sound produced will depend on the vibrational frequency of the membrane. This phenomenon is commonly observed in musical instruments like drums or cymbals.
