Development of Facultative Air Breathing in Bristlenose Plecos (Ancistrus cirrhosus)
Description
Data collected on air breathing development in the bristlenose pleco. Bristlenose plecos breath air with a highly vascularized stomach when exposed to aquatic hypoxic conditions. This study looked at the development of this behavior and when the fish fist began to breathe air.
The College of Science provides students with the high-demand skills and knowledge to succeed as researchers and professionals. The College includes four departments: Biology, Chemistry, Math, and Physics, and is also home to a number of interdisciplinary programs, centers, institutes, intercollegiate programs, labs, and services.
