What 鰓 means
It means gill, the breathing organ of aquatic animals. In Chinese text it is the fish-gill character, read sāi; in Japanese it is read えら. The left-side 魚 signals fish, so it stays in anatomy, cooking, fishing, and biology contexts.
Neutral and technical for fish anatomy; odd outside it.
Do not use it for someone's face.
