According to todays Metro, quoting New Scientist magazine as source.
The Crucian Carp can go for months 'without' oxygen due to it's ability to change the structure of its gills to boost oxygen uptake allowing them to survive periods of little or no oxygen.
Also their red blood cell haemoglobin is the most efficient of all known vertibrates.
This research was carried out at the University of Oslo in Norway.
What do you make of that?
