...Magnus L. Aaskov; Rasmus J. Jensen; Peter Vilhelm Skov; Chris M. Wood; Tobias Wang; Hans Malte; Mark Bayley ABSTRACT One of the most air-reliant obligate air-breathing fish is the South American Arapaima gigas , with substantially reduced gills impeding gas diffusion, thought to be a result...

... little is known about the behavioural and ecological aspects of air breathing in fishes. To breathe air, an individual must surface, rendering them visible to aerial and terrestrial predators ( Kramer and Graham, 1976 ). Consequently, air-breathing fishes can have disproportionately high predation rates...

...Le Thi Hong Gam; Do Thi Thanh Huong; Dang Diem Tuong; Nguyen Thanh Phuong; Frank Bo Jensen; Tobias Wang; Mark Bayley ABSTRACT Chitala ornata is a facultative air-breathing fish, which at low temperatures shows an arterial P CO 2 ( P a CO 2 ) level only slightly elevated above that of water...

.... Here, we examined the structure and function of Hbs in an amphibious, facultative air-breathing fish, the blue-spotted mudskipper ( Boleophthalmus pectinirostris ). We also characterized the genomic organization of the globin gene clusters of the species and we integrated phylogenetic and comparative...

.... albus , which probably stems from the very strongly reduced surface area of the gills, but a low water permeability of the skin may also contribute. The UFR measured in other air-breathing fish, H. malabaricus , H. unitaeniatus and P. dolloi , is also higher than that in M. albus ( Cameron...

Abe; Tobias Wang SUMMARY Synbranchus marmoratus is a facultative air-breathing fish, which uses its buccal cavity as well as its gills for air-breathing. S. marmoratus shows a very pronounced tachycardia when it surfaces...

... used the gills as gas-exchange surfaces since no rich vascularization occurred in the mouth linings. As is known for other air-breathing fishes, f AB increased with decreasing water P O 2. Both buccal gas volume ( V B ) and inspired volume ( V I ) were significantly correlated with body mass ( M b...
