Artificial gills (human) per minute while swimming or .64 liters per minute while resting. As a result, at least of sea water per minute would have to be passed through the system, and this system would not work in anoxic water. Seawater in tropical regions with abundant plant life contains 5–8 mg of oxygen per liter of water. These calculations are based on the dissolved oxygen content of water. Artificial gills (human) Artificial gills are unproven conceptualised devices to allow a human to be able to take in oxygen from surrounding water. This is speculative technology that has not been demonstrated in a
