This adaptation helps crayfish efficiently obtain oxygen from their aquatic environment.


Why does blood travel to the gills before the rest of the body in a perch?

Blood travels to the gills first in a perch because the gills are the site of oxygen exchange, where oxygen is absorbed from the water and carbon dioxide is released.
