Question

why fish respiration rate is slow as compared to us

Answer 1

fish respire fastly then us because it takes oxygen from water&there is less oxygen in water in compare of hydrogen . that's why fish have to respire fastly .



fish respiration rate is not slow as compared to us .

Answer 2

The rate of respiration in fishes is slower than that of humans as they don't have advanced respiratory system like us.They breathe through gills and obtain oxygen dissolved in water.The dissolved amount of oxygen is very less in water whereas there is abundance of oxygen in the air. We obtain oxygen from the atmosphere(air) thus it is easier and we have a faster rate of respiration.
