factors affecting respiration rate
Okay, good start. Some decent information, but it's a little unfocused, not cited properly, and not enough. I think the best thing for this article would be for someone who knows the topic to take it and incorporate the existing info into a whole new format. Docmcconl ( talk) 04:19, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
"One of the main characteristics of aquatic respiration is that, just like terrestrial respiration, it is done through the anus."
I'm not sure that respiration is done through the anus on land or underwater. -- Cremela ( talk) 21:35, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
"In fish, the long bony cover for the gill (the operculum) can be used for pushing water. Some fish pump water using the operculum."
I think it needs to be clarified what the operculum does. Does it push or pump water or maybe in this case neither because it doesn't seem to be the right choice of word to use. It's also not clear on the purpose of the operculum pushing water or the need for fish to 'pump' water. Also someone should wiki operculum and see if they use the info on that page to fix the info here. Donfucius ( talk) 11:20, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
Added 4 citations for "Fish" respiration section. Fixed some grammatical errors, and added information about the Spiracle and the Splanchnocranium to the same section as well. — Preceding

The process of exhalation is completely missing from this article! Am I right in assuming that inhaled oxygen is exhaled, after performing its biological functions, as carbon dioxide gas, produced via carbonic anhydrase from bicarbonate in the blood? Petergans ( talk) 12:09, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
