The flow of water and ventilation system in fish is 1 way, where as in mamals the flow of gases is in 2 ways. why is this?
Fish have gills that extract oxygen from the water. The water flows over the gills and oxygen is absorbed into the bloodstream.
No, fish have different types of ventilation systems depending on their habitat. Some species use passive ventilation, where water flows over the gills due to movement, while others use active ventilation, where they actively pump water over their gills.
No, proper ventilation is crucial for a fish's survival. Without enough oxygen, the fish can suffocate and die.
Water temperature can affect a fish's ventilation rate. As the water temperature increases, the fish's metabolism and oxygen demand also increase, causing them to breathe faster.
There are a few ways to improve ventilation in a fish tank, such as adding an air pump or filter to increase water flow, keeping the water clean and well-oxygenated, and avoiding overcrowding the tank with too many fish.
