Why fish are better at breathing than you are - Dan Kwartler

Explore how fish use their gills to breathe, and how these processes make them some of the most efficient breathers on Earth.
--
Recent studies found that elite runners can take in twice as much oxygen as non-runners. And it’s likely that this superhuman ability played a role in breaking the two-hour marathon barrier in 2019. But when it comes to breathing efficiently, not even the best runners can compete with the average fish. What makes fish some of the best breathers on Earth? Dan Kwartler explores the science of gills.

    A lot of aquatic animals like amphibian larvae, sharks, lamprey, and certian bony fish lack an operculum. I'd take a shot and guess that operculums aren't as crucial for underwater breathing if A: the animal is only aquatic temporarily or can substitute air as well, B: they use some other motion to move water through the gills (ram breathing in sharks for instance), or C: they can absorb some oxygen through their skin.

    Blobfish don't look like that. Blobfish only look like that when they're brought to the surface and destroyed by the air pressure change. I already knew that quite a few of your videos get stuff wrong, particularly your videos about weight science where you demand weight loss despite that not at all being evidence-based practice, but come on. The pressure difference of the ocean and land is such an important aspect of the topic of this video that you dedicated a whole section of this video to it. And yet you went through the entire animation process with likely multiple quality assurance checks and never realized you animated a pressure-killed fish swimming alive and happy in its natural, correctly-pressured environment??

    Lungfish are very different from gouramis. Gouramis, like most fish, are ray-finned fish, whereas lungfish are a much smaller group of lobe-finned fish (like coelacanths) that split off a long time ago. (Notably, lungfish are the fish most closely related to tetrapods like amphibians, reptiles, and mammals.) Gouramis also do not use lungs to breathe air; instead, they have a different structure called a labyrinth organ.

    You forgot to mention that air-breathing isn't unique to lungfish. Lots of fish, both freshwater and saltwater, can do it: For example, Bettas are freshwater fish that can breathe air. Meanwhile, Oceanic Tarpons can also breathe air. Having done a bit of further reading, it seems that most air-breathing fish do not use lungs to breathe air, but instead breathe through their skin like amphibians, or breathe via a labyrinth organ, which seems to be a modified gill arch that is better able to pull oxygen from the air (provided it is wet.)

    I think a part of it is that saltwater fish's bodies are actually much saltier than our bodies. In fact, I recently recall reading that freshwater fish typically have higher salt levels than the surrounding water. They have various biological salt pumps to maintain this lack of equilibrium. The reason there are no freshwater cephalopods is because cephalopods do not have any sort of salt pump, and would die through some combination of too much moisture in their bloodstream and loosing salt to the environment.

    Some animals actually do have gills that work in the air- land crabs and woodlice, for example. These land gills are so specialized for air that they don't work underwater. In any case, this was answered in the video; Fish rely on the density of water to pull it through the gill covers via pressure differences. This method does not exert enough pressure to pull a continuous stream of air over the gills.

    So, how did lungs evolve? From gills, or from something else? I ask because my impression that if an animal has evolved bones, and it has also evolved hearing, its hearing has evolved from bones that in earlier species were part of the jaw. But that if an animal has no bones, but has hearing, then its hearing evolved from completely different earlier structures.

    We really need to fight the misconception that is what blobfish look like! They only look like that when removed from their high-pressure environment: suffering and slowly dying!

    I don't think so, unless you somehow surgically connect all those gills to your bloodstream. I don't think any research has been done on such a surgery, nor do I think there will be any work towards this. Even if you somehow managed to pull this off, you would probably find other problems underwater, as your body simply isn't built to deal with those pressures. For instance, I can't imagine it would be pleasant to have lungs completely full of seawater even if you can get oxygen via other means. In fact, that might actually do severe and permanent damage to your lung tissue.

    I thought the blob fish does not look like that but looks like a normal fish only appearing like a blob after caught because he was fished from such a deepth that the adjustment to the pressure difference in this short time is not possible resulting in the fish looking so squished. Or is this wrong? @TedEd

    why fish haven't finished oxygen from ocean if they breathe more and faster than humans? why hasn't anyone made artifical gills so you don't have to carry oxygen tanks underwater?

    Oxygen gets replenished. I remember hearing multiple times from difference sources that most of the oxygen we breathe comes from the ocean. And creating oxygen tanks is a lot simpler than having to create artificial gills.

    Breathing frequency heavily depends on the size of an animal, so the comparison of how often a human breaths and how often "most fish" breath, really has no meaning. Would have been interesting how often a fish of comparable size breaths.

    Tone down the H2O, will you? That's the molecular formula of water and should not be gratuitously used as a stand-in for water-based solutions that contain a slew of other molecules. Especially in a video about biological systems specialized in exchanging such other molecules with the solution. The way you presented it someone might end uo thinking the oxigen fish extract from their environment come from the H2O molecules, as if fish gills were doing electrolysis or something.

    Well the main reason they need more air (or rather oxygen) is because because there’s less of it in their environment, so they evolved to be able to take in as much of it as possible.
