An operculum covers and protects the gills.

Explanation:

An operculum is a flexible bony type of plate which protects the sensitive gills. When water is inhaled through the mouth it moves over the gills and is exhaled from below the operculum ( gill cover). gills remove oxygen that is present in the water and diffuse carbon dioxide from fish's body. Some fishes have spines which are located on the opiculum( gill cover) which acts as a defense mechanism to secure them from the predators.

The first colorimeter (i'm guessing is standard) is less exact then the actual reading, and has a harder time pin-pointing. (it gives a number near the actual temperature, but it is not correct.)

The second colorimeter is exact, and should be 'trusted more in the future', because it gives an accurate reading of the current temperature.

these are the 2 conclusions i got from the top information given to me.
