Summary

Description
English: Fish breath underwater by taking in water through the mouth and forcefully pushing it out of the gills (special organs of the fish which are blood filled) in a pump-like fashion. While the water passes through the gills, the dissolved oxygen in the water passes through the gills and then into the fish’s blood stream allowing for oxygen to be transported to all necessary areas of the fish.
Español: Los peces respiran bajo el agua tomando agua por la boca y empujándola con fuerza fuera de las branquias (órganos especiales de los peces que están llenos de sangre) en forma de bomba. Mientras el agua pasa a través de las branquias, el oxígeno disuelto en el agua pasa a través de las branquias y luego al torrente sanguíneo de los peces, lo que permite que el oxígeno se transporte a todas las áreas necesarias de los peces.

Fish breath underwater by using a special pump-like organ called gills which are filled with blood. These gills force water out of the fish and allow for dissolved oxygen in the water to pass through to the bloodstream.
