Lungfishes, like tetrapods, possess a vomeronasal system [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2010
The vomeronasal system (VNS) is an accessory olfactory system that in tetrapod vertebrates is composed of specific receptor neurons in the nasal organ and a set of centers in the forebrain that receive and relay the information consecutively towards the hypothalamus.

Shifts in type 2 vomeronasal receptor expression during postnatal development in the lungfish olfactory organ

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Lungfish possess a lamellar OE and a primitive VNO called as a recess epithelium (RecE). Among the lungfish V2Rs expressed in both the lamellar OE and the RecE in small individuals, some became restricted to the RecE in large individuals. These results suggest functional separation between the lamellar OE and the RecE is still incomplete in juveniles ...

From Infestation to Recovery: Evaluating Changes in Livelihoods and Fishing Productivity Following the Biocontrol of Kariba Weed Along Kyoga Basin Lakes and Kibimba Dam

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The invasive kariba weed (Salvinia molesta) has severely degraded aquatic ecosystems in Uganda's Kyoga basin lakes and Kibimba Dam, disrupting fisheries, navigation and community livelihoods. Between 2017 and 2021, the National Agricultural Research Organisation implemented a biological control program using the host‐specific weevil ...

The evolution of cognitive abilities in marine animals: a hypothesis based on insights about cognition gene polymorphisms in Coelocanths and lungfish

open access: yesAcademia Molecular Biology and Genomics
Both coelacanths and lungfish have fossil evidence dating back 400 million years, placing them at a critical evolutionary juncture when marine animals transitioned to terrestrial environments. An intriguing question lies in the extent to which

Origin of secretin receptor precedes the advent of tetrapoda: evidence on the separated origins of secretin and orexin. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
At present, secretin and its receptor have only been identified in mammals, and the origin of this ligand-receptor pair in early vertebrates is unclear.

Respiratory Properties of Blood and Pattern of Gas Exchange in the Lungfish Neoceratodus forsteri (Krefft) [PDF]

open access: yes, 1966
Blood respiratory properties and gas exchange patterns have been studied in the lungfish Neoceratodus. O2 - Hb dissociation curve reveals a high affinity for O2 (P50 of 11 mm Hg at PCO2 3.5 mm Hg).
