Answer:
Fish are aquatic animals whereas humans are terrestrial. In land the amount of oxygen present in the air is much higher than that of the amount of oxygen present in water.
In water oxygen is not present in free state, rather it is found in dissolved state.
So, humans can breath in and out easily without putting in much effort due to the abundance of oxygen.
But, fish has to open its mouth quite frequently to be able to take dissolved oxygen in. Hence the rate of breathing is higher in fish.
