Question

 Can coelacanths breathe air?                    

Answer 1

Coelacanths have gills and can extract oxygen from water like other fish. They are not known to intentionally come to the surface to breathe air, but they have been observed doing so when caught in fishing nets or disturbed in their habitat. However, their lungs are rudimentary and are not believed to play a significant role in their respiration.

Answer 2

Coelacanths are not capable of breathing air like lungfish, but they have a specialized organ called a rostral organ that is believed to play a role in their sense of smell. The rostral organ is filled with blood vessels and may help the fish detect scents in the water.

Answer 3

Coelacanths breathe air like many other fish; with their gills.They extract oxygen from the water with the help of their gills. 

Answer 4

Coelacanths are not capable of breathing air. They are gill-breathing fish, which means they extract oxygen from water through their gills. Unlike some other fish species, they do not possess a lung or a modified swim bladder that would allow them to extract oxygen from the air. Coelacanths are adapted to their deep-sea habitat and rely on the dissolved oxygen in the water for respiration.
