labyrinth organ
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Forms: form: labyrinth organs
Etymology: From labyrinth + organ.
Senses: examples: text: The labyrinth organ may work a bit like a lung, but it is an entirely different solution to the problem of how to remove oxygen from air.[…]The labyrinth organ is an effective adaptation to low-oxygen habitats.
ref: 2002, Gary Elson, Oliver Lucanus, Gouramies and Other Labyrinth Fishes, page 6:
text: The labyrinth organ fills most of the opercular cavity and is positioned behind and above the gill chamber and extends into the suprabranchial space; hence the name suprabranchial organ.
ref: 2008, Tim M. Berra, Freshwater Fish Distribution, page 480:
text: Anesthesia of fish with labyrinth organs (bettas, some gouramis, etc.) should be approached with caution. Owing to the unique anatomy of the labyrinth organ (enables fish to breathe atmospheric oxygen) and the gills of these fish (thick lamellae and ecreased lamellar surface area), it is possible to "drown" the fish if an overdose of an anesthetic agent is given.

anabantoid
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Forms: form: anabantoids
Etymology: From the suborder name Anabantoidei.
Senses: examples: text: The anabantoids are called ”labyrinth fishes” because every species in the entire suborder possesses paired suprabranchial chambers that function for air breathing (Das, 1927; Bader, 1937; Peters, 1978)[…]Early discussions of the form and possible function of the anabantoid labyrinth organ are contained in Peters (1846, 1853), Zograff (1886, 1888), and Henninger (1907).
ref: 1997, Jeffrey B. Graham, Air-Breathing Fishes: Evolution, Diversity, and Adaptation, page 54:
text: The blue, pearl, kissing, and dwarf gouramies are well-known anabantoids. Less familiar anabantoids are the climbing perches and bushfish.[…]Anabantoids are commonly known as labyrinth fishes, referring to a specialized bone above the gill chamber. This structure starts out small in baby anabantoids, where it is called the epibranchial bone.
ref: 2004, Robert J. Goldstein, The Betta Handbook, page 1:
text: Anabantoid fishes have paired suprabranchial organs that function as accessory breathing structures.[…]Anabantoids must gulp air at the surface since gill respiration alone is inadequate to prevent suffocation.
