Hey there!

Here's your answer:

Fish breathe underwater using the oxygen that is dissolved in water. But to absorb oxygen from water, fish use special organs called gills. Gills are full of blood vessels. Also, the walls of the gills and blood vessels are very thin.The fish takes in water through its mouth, just like you take in air through your mouth. The air passes over its gills, and blood vessels in the gill arches and filaments take up the oxygen and send it to the rest of the fish's body. Then the water passes out through the other side of the gills.

  • Fish need oxygen to live. They 'breathe' oxygen dissolved in water.
  • They don't actually breathe instead they have special organs called gills with blood vessels in them.
  • In order to take in oxygen there is a process.
  • This process requires large volumes of water to pass through absorption surfaces to get enough oxygen into their bodies using their mouths and gills.
  • This absorption of oxygen is into its blood steams and this oxygen is carried to every part of the body.

This process is 'breathing' is fish it keeps happening throughout its life to give oxygen to its body once it stops it will die...

Hope this helps..
