Which are the most tolerant aquarium fishes to hypoxia?
Journal Title: Extreme Life, Biospeology & Astrobiology - International Journal of the Bioflux Society - Year 2009, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
In the current paper we report on the ecophysiological adaptation of the lyretail panchax (Aphyosemion australe) and Gardner’s killifish (Fundulopanchax ardneri) to hypoxia. Their adaptation to hypoxia is real and different from that of Osphronemidae or Callichthyidae which is based on breathing atmospheric air.
