Published: 1 May 2009
...Chia Y. Tok; Shit F. Chew; Wendy Y. X. Peh; Ai M. Loong; Wai P. Wong; Yuen K. Ip SUMMARY The swamp eel, Monopterus albus , is an air-breathing teleost which typically lives in freshwater but can also be found in estuaries, where it has to deal with ambient salinity fluctuations. Unlike other...

The swamp eel Monopterus albus reduces endogenous ammonia production and detoxifies ammonia to glutamine during 144 h of aerial exposure

Angeline S. L. Tay, Shit F. Chew, Yuen K. Ip
Journal: Journal of Experimental Biology
J Exp Biol (2003) 206 (14): 2473–2486.
https://doi.org/10.1242/jeb.00464
Published: 15 July 2003
...Angeline S. L. Tay; Shit F. Chew; Yuen K. Ip SUMMARY The swamp eel Monopterus albus inhabits muddy ponds, swamps,canals and rice fields, where it can burrow within the moist earth during the dry summer season, thus surviving for long periods without water. This study aimed to elucidate...

The Transition To Air Breathing In Fishes : V. Comparative Aspects Of Cardiorespiratory Regulation In Synbranchus Marmoratus And Monopterus Albus (Synbranchidae)

Jeffrey B. Graham, N. C. Lai, David Chiller, John L. Roberts
Journal: Journal of Experimental Biology
J Exp Biol (1995) 198 (7): 1455–1467.

Published: 1 July 1995
...Jeffrey B. Graham; N. C. Lai; David Chiller; John L. Roberts ABSTRACT Extreme heart-rate lability accompanies the air-breathing cycles of Synbranchus marmoratus and Monopterus albus . When air is taken into the buccopharyngeal air-breathing organ of these fishes, heart rate increases sharply above...
