About this document
4 Respiratory System of Fishes by baginareca is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The respiratory system of fishes allows them to extract oxygen from water using specialized structures called gills. Fish utilize various respiratory strategies, including branchial respiration, ram ventilation, and cutaneous respiration, depending on their species and environmental conditions. Adaptations such as the labyrinth organ in some species enable survival in low-oxygen habitats by allowing direct atmospheric oxygen uptake.
