Aquatic respiration refers to the process by which aquatic organisms, including fish, amphibians, and some invertebrates, obtain oxygen dissolved in water and expel carbon dioxide. This process is essential for their survival, as water contains much lower concentrations of oxygen compared to air. In many aquatic animals, gills are the primary respiratory organs. Gills are specialized structures that extract oxygen from water as it flows over them.
