Definition: WALKING FISH |
WALKING FISH1. (Zo["o]l.), any one of numerous species of Asiatic fishes of the genus Ophiocephalus , some of which, as O. marulius , become over four feet long. They have a special cavity over the gills lined with a membrane adapted to retain moisture to aid in respiration, and are thus able to travel considerable distances over the land at night, whence the name. They construct a curious nest for their young. Called also langya . |
