4 mar 2014 · Statistics from FAO reveal that the production of air-breathing fishes from four families (Clariidae, Channidae, Pangasiidae and Synbranchidae) has increased explosively over the past decade and now represents 8% of global fish production from aquaculture.
However, nearly 400 species, distributed among 50 families and spanning 17 orders of bony fishes (Osteichthyes), are known to be capable of breathing air. Air breathing enables these fishes to survive in and occupy habitats in which aquatic respiration cannot be used to sustain aerobic metabolism.
1 sty 2011 · Today, there are nearly 1000 species of air breathing fishes, the majority of which are found in bodies of stagnant, tropical fresh water (Graham, 2011). All air-breathing fishes are bimodal...
1 sty 1970 · For tropical air-breathing fishes the external and internal levels of CO, may hence be important factors in the control of breathing. Exposure to increasing CO, tensions in the external water evokes extremely varied breathing responses in different species of air-breathing fishes.
1 sty 2020 · The global production of air-breathing fishes has been steadily increasing since 2000 and in 2017 exceeded 5.8 million metric tons fresh mass (red circles). Almost half this is the result of the culture of a single facultative air-breathing teleost Pangasianodon hypophthalmus (red triangles).
25 sie 2021 · Our approach takes into consideration a species’ tolerance for air exposure, as well as the ecological factors that push (e.g., poor water quality) and pull (e.g., terrestrial prey) fishes out of water.
1 sty 2020 · Under normoxia, the Ucrit and the active metabolic rate with and without access to atmospheric air were similar. Fish having access to air increased the air-breathing frequency with increased swimming speed; 39% of the metabolic rate was derived from air-breathing.
