Aquatic and Aerial Respiration Rates, Muscle Capillary Supply and Mitochondrial Volume Density in the Airbreathing Catfish (Clarias Mossambigus) Acclimated to Either Aerated or Hypoxic Water
(1983)
Specimens of the African air-breathing catfish Clarias mossambicus were acclimated to either aerated (PwO2 15.3 KPa) or hypoxic (PwO2 2.4KPa) water for up to 27 days at 20 °C. Routine respiration rate for fish acclimated ...

(University of Nairobi, 1989)
The digestive secretions of both old world and new world camels are considered
The salivary glands closely resemble those of cattle and sheep both morphologically andphysiologically. Evidently, as in the Ruminantia, ...
The Morphometry of the Lung of the African Lungfish (Protopterus aethiopicus): Its Structural--Functional Correlations
(1985)
The lung of the African lungfish Protopterus aethiopicus has been investigated by morphometric techniques. The volume of the lung was strongly correlated with body mass. The exchange tissue made up about 50% of the lung. ...

(1992)
The lungs of two fossorial rodents, the mole ratTachyoryctes splendens and the naked mole ratHeterocephalus glaber were investigated by transmission and scanning electron microscopy and a comparative morphometric analysis ...
Water requirements of African goats and haired-sheep
(1971)
A number of species of desert- dwelling ungulates (e.g. Grant's gazelle and oryx) can apparently survive desert conditions without drinking. We were interested in finding out whether goats and sheep herded in the arid ...
