Gas exchange in water has the advantage of not requiring minimization of water loss but faces challenges due to water's higher density, viscosity, and lower oxygen content compared to air.
El intercambio gaseoso en el agua tiene la ventaja de no requerir la minimización de la pérdida de agua, pero enfrenta desafíos debido a la mayor densidad, viscosidad y menor contenido de oxígeno del agua en comparación con el aire.
