A fish in extreme alkalinity.
(1975-07)
Tilapia grahami (Boulenger), a small cichlid fish, inhabits extremely alkaline water where the total CO2 concentration exceeds 200 meq.L(-1), osmolality is about 600 mosm.L(-1), pH ranges between 9.6 and 10.5 and temperature ...
Importance of air and water breathing in relation to size of the African lungfish Protopterus amphibius Peters.
(1976)
1. Oxygen uptakes from air and water have been measured in relation to weight of the African lungfish Protopterus amphibius Peters. 2. Combined O2 uptake from air and water ranged from 60 ml O2 kg-1 h-1 STPD, in a 3-7 g ...
Function of the lower intestine and osmoregulation in the ostrich: preliminary anatomical and physiological observations.
(1984-10)
