Title: Factors affecting Bimodal respiration in the catfish Corydoras aeneus Abstract: The catfish‚ Corydoras aeneus is an organism that respires bimodally ‚ that it is being capable of drawing oxygen from both water and air. It carries out aerial respiration through it’s adapted posterior intestine.This experiment was done in order to determine the disadvantages of aerial respiration by manipulation of oxygen content and depth. The effect of dissolved oxygen‚ when the fish was placed into a cylinder
