1) The document discusses respiration in fish, including how oxygen levels differ between water and air, how fish extract oxygen from water using gills, and how their metabolism compares to other aquatic animals like turtles. 2) It describes the challenges of living in water, which is more dense and viscous than air, and how fish have developed efficient respiratory and circulatory systems to overcome this. 3) Intermittent respirometry is discussed as a method to measure oxygen consumption and metabolic rates in fish, with examples given of how it has been used to study the effects of stress and oxygen levels on metabolism.
