A schematic illustration depicts the fish gill apparatus with a curved gill arch supporting red gill filaments bearing densely spaced secondary lamellae and pale inner gill rakers. In hierarchical terms, lamellae are arranged on filaments, which attach to the gill arch within the branchial chamber of the head. In ichthyology, anatomy, and physiology, this respiratory organ enables gas exchange (O2 uptake and CO2 release), while rakers assist in particle filtration during feeding. The structure shown is an organ-level respiratory surface composed of highly vascularized tissue specialized for diffusion.
