Does the music affect respiration rate a fish?

Yes, music can affect the respiration rate in fish. Studies have shown that exposure to music can alter the respiratory patterns and heart rate in various fish species. Music that is perceived as calming and relaxing can lead to a decrease in respiration rate, while stimulating or stressful music can cause an increase in respiration. The underlying mechanisms involve changes in the activity of the nervous system and the release of hormones that influence respiratory functions.
