The 18 pages that link to Fish gill, each with the reason it gives.

• TeleostRelated: Teleost gills also help regulate ions and remove nitrogenous waste.

• Gas exchangeBroader topic: Its countercurrent arrangement extracts oxygen from flowing water.

• Amphibian skinCompared with: Gills perform aquatic gas exchange through specialized structures rather than the whole body surface.

• OperculumNarrower topic: The operculum is the protective cover over this respiratory organ.

• Bony fishRelated: Bony fishes use gills to obtain oxygen while water passes across delicate filaments.

• GillnetRelated: The gills' position behind the head helps explain how mesh catches fish by the gill region.

• Sediment pollutionBroader topic: Fine suspended particles can irritate or damage gills and interfere with respiration.

• IchthyologyBroader topic: Gill structure explains how fishes exchange gases in an aquatic environment.

• Moray eelNarrower topic: Water entering the mouth must pass across moray gills for oxygen exchange.

• Ram feedingRelated: In many fishes, water taken in during feeding also passes toward the gills.

• External gillsCompared with: Most fish gills exchange gases internally rather than projecting freely into the water.

• European perchRelated: Gill structure underlies the perch's ability to breathe while submerged.

• OpahRelated: The gills both take up oxygen and host the vessel network that helps conserve the opah’s heat.

• Ocean sunfishRelated: Gills supply oxygen during the sunfish’s long dives and surface activity.

• ArapaimaRelated: Arapaima retain gills, but rely on them less than most fishes as they grow.

• ArgulidaeRelated: Some argulids attach near gills, where feeding can injure delicate tissue.

• Flathead grey mulletRelated: Gill function supports the fish's movement among waters with changing salinity and oxygen levels.

• TarponRelated: Gills provide tarpon with their ordinary aquatic respiration alongside air gulping.
