The gill arches of bony fish typically have no septum, so that the gills alone project from the arch, supported by individual gill rays. Some species retain gill rakers . Though all but the most primitive bony fish lack a spiracle, the pseudobranch associated with it often remains, being located at the base of the operculum.

Limited nesting grounds can also factor in hybridization causing the females of one species to prefer the nest of another. [31] Bluegill can theoretically hybridize with all other species in the genus Lepomis, though the most common hybrid is the greengill. [32] The hybrid fish are aggressive and have larger mouths than their bluegill parent.

All bony fish possess gills. For the majority this is their sole or main means of respiration. Lungfish and other osteichthyan species are capable of respiration through lungs or vascularized swim bladders. Other species can respire through their skin, intestines, and/or stomach. [18]
This fish won’t take first prize at a beauty pageant any time soon, but at 28 grams of protein and 134 calories per four ounce serving, it’s a nutritional winner. Try it pan-seared with ...
External gills are the gills of an animal, most typically an amphibian, that are exposed to the environment, rather than set inside the pharynx and covered by gill slits, as they are in most fishes. Instead, the respiratory organs are set on a frill of stalks protruding from the sides of an animal's head. The axolotl has three pairs of external ...
But in the early 2000s, British marine biologist Richard Smith decided to focus his PhD research on Denise’s pygmy seahorse, a species found in Sulawesi, Indonesia. It was then that he made an ...
