| Front | A rise in the temperature of water decreases the amount of oxygen dissolved in the water. As the water temperature rises, the rate of ventilation in a fish also rises. Explain the advantage of this. |
|---|---|
| Back | to provide same amount of oxygen; need to have more water flowing over gills; metabolic rate/respiration increases (with increase in temperature); so more oxygen required; |
