| Unlike land vertebrates or marine mammals, fish don't have lungs, but they do have paired respiratory structures called gills, or branchia. |
| This has been called a branchial arm, not that it carried a branchia, but on account of its relation to the respiratory system. |
| The branchia is translucent white with brown spots and white-tipped brown pinnules. |
| Herein we describe three new species in the family Eremobatidae and provide a description of the female of Branchia brevis Muma 1951 from the family Ammotrechidae. |
