Any marine biologists here?

If a fish dies due to lack of oxygen, is it called drowning or suffocation?

It depends on if a golf ball is involved or not.

Was it a Titleist?

Whoozyerdaddy is correct. Asphyxiation are suffocation are basically synonyms.

This is assuming you're talking about oxygen levels in the H2O being too low. Fish out of water are actually exposed to too much oxygen...that is unless their mucous flow ends up covering their gills and then they suffocate anyway.

I just did a white pages check for George and got more results than you can hit a golf ball at.

Just because he doesn't work for your favorite team anymore doesn't mean he doesn't exist. Damned New York sports fans...

So, I suppose you called the Costanzas and told them George was missing?

So I wonder if you could make some kind of Fluor-Inert system that would allow a fish to stay out of water for prolonged periods. Hrmm...
