Laboratory studies have resulted in classification of the marbled African lungfish, Protopterus aethiopicus, as an obligate air-breather. However, there have been no investigations of the extent of dependence on aerial ...
Marbled lungfish growth rates in Lake Baringo, Kenya, estimated by mark-recapture

R. Dunbrack; J. M. Gree; C.M. Mlewa (Wiley Online Library, 2006-02)

Mark-recapture was used to quantify the relationship between body mass (MT) and individual growth rates of sub-adult marbled lungfish Protopterus aethiopicus in Lake Baringo, Kenya. Specific growth rate (in mass) was found ...
