The right answer is Whales are able to conserve oxygen better than humans.

As the duration of the dive of some whale species can reach more than one hour, they use other means to breathe. In vertebrates, myoglobin, a protein, transports and stores oxygen in muscle tissue. It works like hemoglobin that carries oxygen in red blood cells. It is also myoglobin concentration very strong that makes their flesh bright red color, almost black. Thus, whales use the oxygen stored in the muscles to dive for long periods.

Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

The analysis comprise in watch the conduct of each gathering of fishes. Subjectively, we can mention objective facts of the swimming examples of every creature, on the off chance that they assault one another or if the pass on. Be that as it may, this investigation will be founded on quantitative outcomes. We will observe during multi month of the quantity of fishes in each gathering that still alive. Obviously, we will give the standard states of nourishment, oxygen and light to each gathering.  

We need to determinate if the two species can get by their own without the nearness of the other one. Our hypothesis would be: If both kind of fishes have a mutual relationship, the two gatherings (1 and 2) will lessen the quantity of people continuously. On the off chance that the relationship is parasitic, one of the two gatherings will have less number of people toward the month's end.
