Why fish outperform you at breathing - Dan Kwartler

Explore how fish use their gills to breathe, and how these processes make them some of the most efficient breathers on Earth. -- Recent studies found that elite runners can take in twice as much oxygen as non-runners.

But when it comes to breathing efficiently, not even the best runners can compete with the average fish. What makes fish some of the best breathers on Earth? Dan Kwartler explores the science of gills. Lesson by Dan Kwartler, directed by Denys Spolitak.
