Answer:

Certain species of fishes use spiracles for breathing, such as sharks and stingrays.

Explanation:

  • Insects and some cartilaginous fish have spiracles, which are breathing openings. Most cartilaginous fish still have a small, hole-like orifice known as the spiracle.
  • Spiracles are useful for rays that burrow below the ocean floor because they enable them to breathe without the assistance of gills that are visible.
  • Southern stingrays are saltwater creatures that live in the sand and breathe through their spiracles while submerged in the water. Water is drawn in by spiracles behind the ray's eyes, transmitted across its gills, and ejected from its underside through gills.
  • Large, flat-bodied sharks called angel sharks burrow under the sand and breathe through their spiracles. They wait invisibly for fish, crabs, and mollusks before lunging with their jaws to hit and kill them.
