Do jawless fish have operculum?
Open in App
Solution
Operculum:
The operculum is a bony flap that covers the gills in fish.
It moves back and forth to allow water to pass over the fish's gills, allowing the animal to breathe while simultaneously protecting these sensitive sections of the fish.
Operculum does not exist in jawless fish.
