We have previously determined that bowfin use two distinct air-breathing mechanisms to ventilate the gas bladder: type I air breaths are characterized by exhalation followed by inhalation, are stimulated by aquatic or aerial hypoxia and appear to regulate O2 gas exchange; type II air breaths are characterized by inhalation alone and possibly regulate gas bladder volume and buoyancy. In the present study, we test the hypotheses (1) that gill ventilation and type I air breaths are controlled by O2-sensitive chemoreceptors located in the branchial region, and (2) that type II air breaths are controlled by gas bladder mechanosensitive stretch receptors. Hypothesis 1 was tested by examining the effects of partial or complete branchial denervation of cranial nerves IX and X to the gill arches on gill ventilation frequency (fG) and the proportion of type I air breaths during normoxia and hypoxia; hypothesis II was tested by gas bladder inflation and deflation. Following complete bilateral branchial denervation, fG did not differ from that of sham-operated control fish; in addition, fG was not significantly affected by aquatic hypoxia in sham-operated or denervated fish. In sham-operated fish, aquatic hypoxia significantly increased overall air-breathing frequency (fAB) and the percentage of type I breaths. In fish with complete IX\u2013X branchial denervation, fAB was also significantly increased during aquatic hypoxia, but there were equal percentages of type I and type II air breaths. Branchial denervation did not affect the frequency of type I air breaths during aquatic hypoxia. Gas bladder deflation via an indwelling catheter resulted in type II breaths almost exclusively; furthermore, fAB was significantly correlated with the volume removed from the gas bladder, suggesting a volume-regulating function for type II air breaths. These results indicate that chronic (3\u20134 weeks) branchial denervation does not significantly affect fG or type I air-breathing responses to aquatic hypoxia. Because type I air-breathing responses to aquatic hypoxia persist after IX\u2013X cranial nerve denervation, O2-sensitive chemoreceptors that regulate air-breathing may be carried in other afferent pathways, such as the pseudobranch. Gas bladder deflation reflexly stimulates type II breaths, suggesting that gas bladder volume-sensitive stretch receptors control this particular air-breathing mechanism. It is likely that type II air breaths function to regulate buoyancy when gas bladder volume declines during the inter-breath interval.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1242\/jeb.202.1.87","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,23]],"date-time":"2021-04-23T23:30:16Z","timestamp":1619220616000},"page":"87-94","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":31,"title":["Control of gill ventilation and air-breathing in the bowfin <i>Amia calva<\/i>"],"prefix":"10.1242","volume":"202","author":[{"given":"Michael S.","family":"Hedrick","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"California State University at Hayward 1 Department of Biological Sciences , , Hayward, CA 94542, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"David R.","family":"Jones","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of British Columbia 2 Department of Zoology , , Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6T 1Z4"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"237","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1999,1,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024110713165862100_JEXBIO_202_1_87C1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"487","DOI":"10.1002\/jmor.1050120302","article-title":"The cranial muscles and cranial and first spinal nerves in Amia calva","volume":"12","author":"Allis","year":"1897","journal-title":"J.
