Lungfish
• Gulp air at surface of water• African lungfish can survive desiccation through aestivation• Build mucous cocoon in dry season• Found only in Africa, S. America, and Australia• Dipnoi sp. (Lungfish
![Page 15: By 256 Lab Exam 1 Studyguide](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/563dbb6a550346aa9aacfbf0/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

• Thought to be extinct• Presence of a “Rostral organ”
• Part of the electrosensory system
• Intracranial joint in the skull• Allows the anterior portion of the cranium to swing upwards
• Hollow, oil-filled notochord extending the length of the body• Other specific characters
• Vertebrae are incompletely formed or totally lacking bony centra (vertebral bodies) • Oil-filled gas bladder
• An out-pocketing of the gut• Fleshy “lobed” or limb-like fins
• Are internally supported by bone• Paired fins move in a synchronized tetrapod-like pattern

Neopterygi
• More “modern” of Actinopterygii• Ray-finned fish• Most have gas bladder (swim bladder)• 2 main groups• Holostei (intermediate) Gar and Bowfin• Teleostei (advanced) most fish species
![Page 19: By 256 Lab Exam 1 Studyguide](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/563dbb6a550346aa9aacfbf0/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Holostei
• Intermediate ray-finned fish• Gar:
• Ganoid scales• Abbreviate heterocercal tail• Inhabits backwaters (freshwater and marine)
• O2 levels in the water gar inhabit can be < 3.5ppm• Gar gulp air using gas bladder as a lung• Physostomous swim bladder
• Bowfin:• Cycloid scales• Abbreviate heterocercal tail• Inhabits backwaters (freshwater) where O2 levels can be low
• Gulp air in similar fashion to gars (physostomous swim bladder)
![Page 20: By 256 Lab Exam 1 Studyguide](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/563dbb6a550346aa9aacfbf0/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Telostei
• Advanced ray-finned fishes• Scale types of teleosts
• Scale types of teleosts• Cycloid and ctenoid scales
• Represent ~96% of all living fishes• ~21,000 species of teleosts
• All have a physoclistous swim bladder• Teleosts are the most diverse group of fishes
![Page 21: By 256 Lab Exam 1 Studyguide](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/563dbb6a550346aa9aacfbf0/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Darters
• Almost all darters are extremely intolerant to pollution• Good ecological indicators.
• Swim bladders:• Most darters have poorly developed swim bladders• Some lack a swim bladder entirely• Darters have to “dart” around on the bottom
• All are insectivores/carnivores• Most prefer fast-moving water over riffles
