Underwater, fish breathe with gills,which are feathery organs packed with blood vessels that absorb dissolved oxygen from the water.But in the open air, their gills collapse and are rendered useless,so amphibious fishes need other ways to breathe.The armored catfish’s stomach is packed with blood vessels,so it can gulp down air and breathe through its stomach lining.
