Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: Outbreathing

👉 In anatomy and physiology, "outbreathing" refers to a slow, deep breathing pattern that is characteristic of some species of fish. It occurs when individuals in aquatic environments, such as rivers or lakes, take a breath through their nostrils while simultaneously exhaling air from their lungs into the water. This pattern is often observed in schools of fish, especially those with a streamlined body shape, such as salmon, trout, and eels. Outbreathing can be an important adaptation for these creatures
