Do fish need air to survive?

It's a bit of a trick question! Fish don't need air in the same way that humans do. They don't breathe air directly.

Here's the breakdown:

* Fish need oxygen: Like all living things, fish need oxygen to survive.

* They get oxygen from water: Fish extract oxygen dissolved in the water through their gills.

* Gills are specialized organs: Gills are like feathery structures that absorb oxygen from the water and release carbon dioxide.

So, while fish don't breathe air, they do need oxygen and get it from the water.
