How do goldfish gills function to extract oxygen from water for respiration?

Goldfish gills have thin, feathery structures called filaments that are covered in tiny blood vessels. As water passes over the gills, oxygen from the water diffuses into the blood vessels and carbon dioxide from the fish's blood diffuses out into the water. This process allows the goldfish to extract oxygen from the water for respiration.
