Why a fish cannot live outside the water?
Answers
Answer:
A fish can only respire through dissolved oxygen in water. When it is taken out of the water,it is exposed to oxygen which is not in dissolved form. The fish unable ro take in direct oxygen cannot survive.
Answer:
Though some fish can breathe on land taking oxygen from air, most of the fish, when taken out of water, suffocate and die. This is because gill arches of fish collapse, when taken out of water, leaving the blood vessels no longer exposed to oxygen in air.
Explanation:
Some fish can survive for a few minutes out of water, some for a few hours, and some for even a few months! ... Some of these fish are limited in their air-breathing, like tarpon which will gulp air from the surface during long fights to get extra oxygen and bursts of energy.
