Abstract

The intertidal sculpin Clinocottus recalvus has been observed emerged and showing signs of air‐breathing near tidepools in a cave on the central California coast. In the laboratory the fish consumed oxygen at nearly equal rates in water and air, but release of carbon dioxide was retarded in air. The cause of emergence appeared to be low oxygen levels in the tidepools. This is the first report of air‐breathing in the sculpin family.

During nasal breathing, heat and humidity are exchanged over a 160 cm 2 area of mucous membrane. This capacity is not sufficient for airway comfort during cold air breathing. Similarly, airway discomfort and constriction may be experienced during exercise-induced mouth breathing in marginally cold t
