Fish Can 'Drown' in Water: Scientists Explain the Shocking Truth!

• Fish can indeed 'drown' in water, but it's technically suffocation due to lack of oxygen, unlike humans.
• They breathe by extracting oxygen from water through gills; a continuous water flow is essential for this process.
• Suffocation occurs if water lacks sufficient dissolved oxygen (e.g., warm water, algae blooms, no aerator).
• Damaged gills or polluted water also prevent fish from extracting oxygen, leading to their death.
• Scientists confirm numerous cases of fish dying from suffocation in water, as reported by Discover Wildlife, Live Science, and University of Miami.

Why It Matters: Fish don't drown like humans but suffocate in water due to lack of oxygen or gill malfunction.
