Which limitation impacts manta ray respiration when suspended mid-water?

💡 Explanation

Reduced water flow weakens opercular pumping, decreasing lamellar gas exchange effectiveness, because the manta ray relies on ram ventilation, rather than active pumping. Therefore, less oxygen is extracted, rather than CO2 accumulating due to systemic reasons.
