West African lungfish - Wikipedia
The West African lungfish (Protopterus annectens), also known as the Tana lungfish or simply African lungfish, is a species of African lungfish. [6][7] It is found in a wide range of freshwater habitats in West and Middle Africa, as well as the northern half of Southern Africa. [7][6]

2023年10月19日 · West African lungfish are prehistoric animals. They have survived unchanged for so long (nearly 400 million years) that they are sometimes nicknamed “ living fossils.” West African lungfish have remarkable adaptations that have helped them survive: a primitive lung and the ability to survive in a state of estivation, which is similar to ...

Here, we report a single-cell transcriptome atlas of the West African lungfish (Protopterus annectens). This species manifests the most extreme form of terrestrialization, a life history strategy to survive dry periods that can last for years, characterized by dormancy and reversible adaptive changes of the gills and lungs.
Lung and gill ventilation of the african lung fish
The influence of changes in ambient gas tensions on gill and lung ventilation was determined in the African lung fish. Experiments were performed with the fish in water, but with free access to the air over it. Gill and lung frequency were measured using implanted electrodes; tidal volumes were determined by spirometry and by cinéradiography.

2023年9月13日 · African lungfishes and the South American lungfish are obligatory air-breathers – they depend on lung respiration and show limited oxygen uptake via their gills (i.e., their gills may be more important for carbon dioxide elimination, with species-specific differences observed) – while the Australian lungfish respires via its gills unless ...

2015年1月30日 · African lungfishes are obligate air breathers, with reduced gills and pulmonary breathing throughout their life. During the dry season they aestivate on land, with the collapse of secondary lamellae of their gills and the establishment of an exclusive aerial ventilation through the vascularization a …
Lungfishes: Current Biology - Cell Press
5 天之前 · Where and how do they live? Today there are six species of lungfish living across the major southern continents, namely Australia (Neoceratodus forsteri), South America (Lepidosiren paradoxa) and Africa (with four species of Protopterus).All extant lungfishes live in freshwater ecosystems, such as coastal rivers, or swampy, weedy lakes, and are adapted to survive in low-oxygen environments.
