Fig. 6. Decline in VE (expressed as % of inspired volume) as a
function of breath-holding duration (BHD) in O. lacepedii during air
breathing. Regression equation: VE=0.60BHD+100.17;
r2=0.88, P<0.001). VE was
calculated only from fish that retained the full amount of air in the buccal
cavity until expiration (see Fig.
2A). Different symbols represent individual fish
(N=8).
