munkee Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 Standing in the lunch que today... and someone was talking about a porno site with fish on, suddenly it just came to me. Do fish drink? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartridge Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 Freshwater fish do not actively drink water, but absorb the water through their skin and gills. On the other hand, saltwater fish do actively drink sea water. Their gills process the water and take out the salt. The salmon is an interesting example of a fish that lives in both fresh and salt water, and consequently, they have the characteristics of both types of fish. Salmon are born in fresh water, and migrate to the ocean. While living in the ocean, they drink saltwater by opening their mouth; their gills then rid their bodies of the salt and minerals. When the salmon enters freshwater streams to spawn, they stop drinking the water and instead absorb it through osmosis (osmosis means that the water passes through the cells of the fish's skin into its body).

Tartridge Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 what the f**k! ← The fizziness in drinks is caused by carbon dioxide. You cant breathe with it. So the fish stops. As soon as water is back in there, you give it a little electric shock (hence the battery - just like you can with a human) and he comes back to life again :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
