- Water enters fish through its mouth and passes through gills- Gill has stacks gill filaments and lamellae covering filaments which have blood capillaries- Blood flows through lamellae in one direction and water in the opposite direction, maximises a concentration gradient between water and blood so the maximum amount of oxygen diffuses into blood - Blood leaving lamellae has high oxygen concentration and water flowing away from lamellae has low oxygen concentration
