Often the gills are enclosed in protective chambers, and ventilation is provided by specialized appendages that create the respiratory current. As in cephalopod mollusks, oxygen utilization is relatively high—up to 70 percent of the oxygen is extracted from the water…

With each movement I can feel the water flowing around and through my body, its coldness causing goosebumps to form on my arms and legs.
