Awareness Of Fish



There is heaps less assimilable oxygen
in a volume of water
than there is
in the same amount of air,
but as a fish is used to that
it doesn't care.

What I want to know is:
about how slippery it is
is a fish aware?
and,
with so much assimilable O2 in air,
is a fish-in-air's fate
not to drown but
to hyperventilate?
