Abstract

Fishes are primarily water breathers using their gills and integuments for gaseous exchange from water. The gills of the fishes have the dual function of maintaining osmotic balance and gas exchange in aquatic medium. Its efficiency depend on various factors such as :

  1. The effective gill surface area.
  2. The nature of blood water pathways
  3. The counter current flow of blood and wate
  4. Nature of respiratory pigment.

To study the gill dimensions is one of the fascinating problems for modern fish respiratory physiologist.
