Fishes of the Amazon and Their Environment: Physiological and Biochemical Aspects
TL;DR: This chapter discusses fish culture in the Amazon, the effect of temperature on Hb-O2 Affinity, and the effects of migration on Intra-Breathing Organs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Scaling effects on hypoxia tolerance in the Amazon fish Astronotus ocellatus (Perciformes: Cichlidae): contribution of tissue enzyme levels.
Vera Maria Fonseca de Almeida-Val,Adalberto Luis Val,W. Duncan,F.C.A Souza,M.N Paula-Silva,Stephen C. Land +5 more
TL;DR: It is interesting to explore the fact that hypoxia survivorship increases due to combining effects of suppressing metabolic rates and increasing anaerobic power as fish grow, and this is the first description of scaling effects on Hypoxia tolerance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transition in organ function during the evolution of air-breathing; insights from Arapaima gigas, an obligate air-breathing teleost from the Amazon.
TL;DR: Arapaima gigas is one of the most obligate extant air-breathing fishes representing a remarkable model system to investigate how the transition from aquatic to aerial respiration affects gill design and the relocation of physiological processes from the gills to the kidney during the evolution of air- breathing.
