A morphometric analysis of chloride cells in the gills of the teleosts Oreochromis alcalicus and Oreochromis niloticus and a description of presumptive urea-excreting
(1991)
The chloride cells of the teleost gills have structurally and functionally been an
extremely intriguing group of cells. Since they were first described by Keys & Willmer
(1932), the biology of these cells has attracted ...
A study of the morphology of the gills of an extreme alkalinity and hyperosmotic adapted teleost Oreochromis alcalicus grahami (Boulenger) with particular emphasis …
(Springer-Verlag, 1990)
The general gill morphology of Oreochromis alcalicus grahami, a teleost adapted to high salinity and hyperosmosis, is basically similar to that of other teleostean fish. The species has four pairs of gill arches, all of ...
Respiratory Physiology of the Lake Magadi Tilapia (Oreochromis alcalicus grahami), a Fish Adapted to a Hot, Alkaline, and Frequently Hypoxic Environment
(The University of Chicago Press, 1996)
The tilapia Oreochromis alcalicus grahami is a unique ureotelic teleost, the only
fish that lives in the alkaline hotsprings of Lake Magadi, Kenya. Physical condi-
tions and fish behavior were monitored in the Fish ...
A comparative allometric study of the morphometry of the gills of an alkalinity adapted cichlid fish,Oreochromis alcalicus grahami, of Lake Magadi, Kenya
(Springer, 1996)
A morphometric analysis of the gills ofOreochromis alcalicus grahami has been carried out on specimens from ecologically distinct lagoons and a water-holding tank of Lake Magadi, a highly alkaline salt lake situated in a ...
A Morphometric Study of the Lungs of Different Sized Bats: Correlations between Structure and Function of the Chiropteran Lung
(1991)
The lungs of four species of bats, Phyllostomus hastatus (PH, mean body mass, 98 g), Pteropus lylei (PL,
456 g), Pteropus alecto (PA, 667 g), and Pteropus poliocephalus (PP, 928 g) were analysed by morphometric
methods. ...
Urea Production, Acid-base Regulation And Their Interactions In The Lake Magadi Tilapia, A Unique Teleost Adapted To A Highly Alkaline Environment
(1994)
The Lake Magadi tilapia, Oreochromis alcalicus grahami, thrives in highly alkaline
geothermal springs and pools surrounding Lake Magadi, Kenya (control pH=9.9,
CCO·=173mmoll21), has a functional hepatic ornithine–urea ...
Effects Of Ammonia On Survival, Swimming And Activities Of Enzymes Of Nitrogen Metabolism In The Lake Magadi Tilapia Oreochromis Alcalicus Grahami
(1993)
The Lake Magadi tilapia, Oreochromis alcalicus grahami, is remarkable among
teleosts in that it flourishes under extremely well-buffered alkaline water conditions
(pH10, CCO· 180mmol l21) at temperatures of 30–40°C (Wood ...
A morphological and morphometric study of the prosimian lung: the lesser bushbaby Galago senegalensis.
(1990)
Among mammals, it is only in the order Primate that the extant members in fair
measure present graded features approximating to the stages of the evolution from the
early ancestral (prosimian) primates through to anthropoid ...
Ultrastructural characterization of the pulmonary cellular defences in the lung of a bird, the rock dove, Columba livia
(1998)
Free (surface) avian respiratory macrophages (FARMs) were harvested by lavage of the lung/air–sac system of the rock dove, Columba livia. The presence of FARMs in the atria and infundibula was confirmed by scanning electron ...
