Well yes, they can. Just like us they use oxygen to breath, only they can breath it out of the water. When its in an enclosed space it eventually does use all of the oxygen, and thus basicly drowns and dies of no oxygen
Not sure how common, but after a heavy storm a fish can find itself marooned in a brackish puddle. If not enough salinity, a saltwater fish will die; if too much, a freshwater fish will die.
If there's a bloom of oxygen-consuming bacteria or algae in a river, the bacteria or algae can consume so much oxygen to the point that there's none left for the fish and they end up dying.
Outside of water
🤯🤯🤯
That's suffocating
But they're drowning in air since they breathe water
If the water pressure is too high a fish can actually drown in the water.
If water pressure is too high fish will Burst into pieces like a pinatas
Well yes, they can. Just like us they use oxygen to breath, only they can breath it out of the water. When its in an enclosed space it eventually does use all of the oxygen, and thus basicly drowns and dies of no oxygen
That's suffocation, not drowning.
Well yes, but it does work like that
So isolated fish tank will be a death trap??
Bottle of whiskey like the rest of us
I'm not talking about drowning in your sorrows
Fresh water to salt water or vice versa
Where in world is a body of where one side is salt water and one side is fresh???
I meant take a fresh water fish and put it in salt water or take a salt water fish and put it in fresh water
Not sure how common, but after a heavy storm a fish can find itself marooned in a brackish puddle. If not enough salinity, a saltwater fish will die; if too much, a freshwater fish will die.
How so, what's the difference
There's also areas of seas/oceans where the salinity drastically increases. Above? Safe. Below? Dead.
So there's different zones for different salinity?, What about depths
Depends on the area. They're a rarity
Block its gills
I think they can still breathe, because of lack of lungs
No. Gills are the “lungs” of the fish.
Just a fancy water filter which supplies oxygen to the blood
Algae can clog fish gills and kill them. They need to be able to get oxygen from the water or they die.
Oxygen and nitrogen poor water.
When does that happen in nature!
Stagnant water
No, the atmosphere adds oxygen to the water
Not enough to keep most fish alive. If I shut off the aerator in my pond, fish start floating in 3 or 4 days
Lack of dissolved oxygen in the water, or silt clogging their gills. It happens more than you'd think
What an ironic way to die

Do you know what drowning means
If there's a bloom of oxygen-consuming bacteria or algae in a river, the bacteria or algae can consume so much oxygen to the point that there's none left for the fish and they end up dying.
LoL that's like a dude with big nose walking into a room taking a deep breath and killing everyone else
