Can a fish drown?
[ 2007-04-09 13:43 ]

鱼会淹死吗?这个问题看来很荒谬,因为鱼本来就是生活在水中的,怎么会淹死呢?不过答案却是肯定的,只不过鱼是“淹死”在氧气中的。

鱼会淹死吗Can a fish drown?

YES!

Fish, like people, need oxygen to live.

A fish out of water is a fish out of its element. A fish comes fully equipped with a pair ofgills, which it uses to breathe under water. The gills extract life-sustaining oxygen from thehydrogenin the watermolecules, in order to regulate the amount of oxygen intake. This maintains the necessary balance of the two components of water for the fish to survive.

When a fish is taken out of water, and exposed only to air, not to oxygen and hydrogen containing water, its gills are unable to control the oxygen intake, the delicate balance cannot be maintained, and the gills inhale alethaloverdose of oxygen. The fish essentially experiences death by "drowning."

gill 腮

hydrogen 氢

molecules 分子

lethal 致命的
