The Physical Properties of the Swimbladders of Some South American Cypriniformes

R. N. McALEXANDER 1

1 Department of Zoology, University College of North Wales Bangor

The physical properties of the swimbladders of a variety of Characinoidei, Gymnotoidei and Siluroidei were investigated and found to be essentially similar to those previously reported for Cyprinidae. The Siluroidei, however, which were all Bagridae, had much lower excess internal pressures than the other Cyprinifonnes.
