Control of breathing in African lungfish ( Protopterus dolloi ): A comparison of aquatic and cocooned (terrestrialized) animals

Abstract African lungfish, Protopterus dolloi exhibited constant rates of O2 consumption before (0.95 ± 0.07 mmol kg−1 h−1 ), during (1.21 ± 0.32 mmol kg−1 h−1 ) and after (1.14 ± 0.14 mmol kg−1 h−1 ) extended periods (1–2 months) of terrestrialization while cocooned. Although a breathing event in t...
