Description
The bowfin (Amia calva) is a bony fish that lives in bodies of slow-moving fresh water in North America. Bowfins are part of the exclusive group of fish that are capable of extracting oxygen not only from water but also open air. This adaptation is important because bowfins often live in poorly oxygenated waters where most fish could not survive.
