Why do aquatic organisms have faster breathing rate

Aquatic animals take in the oxygen dissolved in water. The amount of dissolved oxygen in water is fairly low compared to the amount of oxygen in the air. Therefore, rate of breathing in aquatic organisms is much faster than in terrestrial organisms.

Aquatic organisms have to use the oxygen dissolved in water for their respiration which is less. So their breathing rate is more.
