Granted it's been a while since I studied anything remotely related to biology, but how the hell can you give "mouth to mouth" to something that has no lungs?

[EDIT]Oh, and the obvious question... Why is this front page news on MSNBC?[/EDIT]

You are still pushing air, which it processes, through it's gills.

It's largely C0_2_, but still has enough 0_2_

Talk about a slow news day..

 

[P.O.W.]

fish absorb oxygen through the water, I guess you can still blow some oxygen through the gills.

Blech 😛

But wouldn't you be much better off by forcing WATER through their gills?

I am not even sure it is possible for gills to take gaseous oxygen.

But either way, who cares.

Gills collect dissolved oxygen from water moving over them, so I imagine they can collect some oxygen from air..

Yeah. I guess the sixteen dead soldiers and the two dead american contractors woke up from their slumber.

 

[imported_Papi]

thats impossible.

theres a reason why fish live in water and die when you take them out.

retarded!

 

[StageLeft]

That's bad. I wonder who would win in a fight of who can post the stupidest most ridiculously unnewsworthy story: MSNBC or CNN?

I dunno, while the fish thing is unnewsworthy it does spark a bit of curiousity on how the heck can you revive a fish with mouth to mouth. I find nothing interesting in wanting to see what some dead guy looked like.

 

[TMPadmin]

That's what you get for reading that liberal crap on msnbc and cnn. Try a real news site Fox News.

I think a little butter would have been a better way to handle the situation. :Q

 

[earthman]

You would revive a fish by holding it under water and moving it back and forth so water moves through its gills, or so I would think.

koi are cool fish, but they are still fish, that dude is wacked
