Last I checked, Fish don't seem to to so well on on land. About as well as a human in water. If fish could breathe air, I imagine they'd develop a similar level of inefficiency.
If humans have gills they would also colonize the oceans and fight for territory. They would also build humongous infrastructures that would extract everything that is valuable in the waters until it's all depleted.

Australian Lungfish - I'm confused as to why the water in Australia disappears in August & September? Those are our cold months generally with lots of rain 🤔
The image of the blobfish is incorrect. It only looks like that because its cells rupture when brought to the surface, due to the massive changes in pressure. At its natural depths, it looks like a normal fish.
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.
This makes the movie WaterWorld make more sense even if they didn't mean it when they made the movie. But The Mariner was a mutant and had the ability to breathe under water. he had gills behind his ears, but it was only one set of gills. One sheet. Since gills are so efficient, it makes sense he only needed one.
There sure would be a lot more people alive today-- including one of my uncles-- if we humans could just get the oxygen we need from water, even if only for a short time (a few hours or about a day). There are a number of other reasons why humans could not permanently live in an underwater environment, but having the ability to last, say, just 12 hours on oxygen extracted from water would save a LOT of lives and avert as many drowning tragedies. I guess it's just too much to ask God for such a basic ability that could come in so handy when the need arises!
The blobfish has been misrepresented in its ideal water pressure. It’s infamous blobbiness is a result of depressurization and not seen in it’s deep sea natural habitat.
Ah come on! Again the misinformation about the blobfish is being spread. It is extremely unfair to give it the name blobfish as it looks like a blob only on the surface. At its natural habitat deep down the ocean, it looks like a normal fish!
The explanation on gosh breathing made me wonder, I was always taught when catching and releasing fish to glide them backwards through the water to get water in their gills, and get them breathing, but is this not actually true due to the pressure differential and them requiring swallowing water first?
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.)
For the record Kipchoge didn’t run a sub 2 hour marathon he ran a carefully constructed marathon distance round a park with pacers and a pace car The official marathon record is 2:01 in Chicago
Seeing the Lungfish reminded me that people are just visiting the way Dinosaurs 🦕 had. Other primitive species will survive the collision with low Oxygen.
But how do the fish prevent infections or other pathogens from passing into their bloodstream? I think that’s the bigger achievement. Imagine running a marathon in the worst smog conditions.
Ok I have e quesio. There is said that fish cant breath on the surfase because of the prsure. If we like aim fan on them or put hose into theyr mouth and force air trough it, would be fish albe to breath?
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!
3:28 Come on TED-Ed, I know you guys can do better than depicting a living blobfish in its natural environment the way one killed by rapid pressure changes looks.
could you ever manage to put gills inside human bodies? like genetically engineered humans in a aquatic planet or something similar how would that even work? Would the brain be able to switch between breathing with lungs and breathing with gills? Would the human need to think about using their gills instead of breathing with lungs? How would that feel like? so many questions and so little answers ,.,
In addition to gills, fish like gouramis and bettas also have an organ called a labyrinth that functions like a lung. I don't know if that's what the lungfish has but labyrinths weren't mentioned by name in the video
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.
“Marathon runners extract twice the oxygen per breath” “gills extract double the oxygen as lungs”. So marathon runners lungs are as efficient as a fish.
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.
Considering the fact that 21% of air is oxygen but there is only a small amount of oxygen in water , we don't need to be more effective at getting oxygen but fishes have to be
If water consists of oxygen and hydrogen and hydrogen is the lightest element known ,would it be safe to say that all the weight of a bucket of water comes from oxygen ?
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.
To be fair, they did have a 300 million year head start compared to our lungs, which is about half as long as complex life has been on earth. They got an amazing head start.

That's if capitalism remained. Once we overcome it, we will not be as wasteful.

Betta splendens has the labyrinth organ. Despite breathing most time with the gills, it always must swim up to breath atmospheric air.
this whole time i thought they breathed water like, like water WAS their oxygen as opposed to us land dwellers… Great lesson !
I am *so* aware of my breathing right now.
Manually breathing
Translate it into mindful breathing!
Water breathing or hamon
Weird that I was just randomly thinking about this yesterday
The image of the blobfish is incorrect. It only looks like that because its cells rupture when brought to the surface, due to the massive changes in pressure.
At its natural depths, it looks like a normal fish.
Why did the fish accept its death after losing its respiratory organs?
Because it lost the gill to live.

some fish like catfish or gourami often gulps air from the surface, how does that work? they dont have lungs but breath air with their gills?
I think they have a labyrinth organ like betta fish

Serious question. If you filled a bucket with gills and put a tube in the bottom of it, could you use it like a natural oxygen tank?
