This are mudskippers.The Mudskippers are perhaps, the most conspicuous fish in our mangroves mainly because they spend most of their time out of water. They breathe by holding water in their mouth and gill chamber, replacing with fresh water when it becomes deoxygenated. By staying damp, the fish can also breathe through its skin. The physiology of mudskippers is remarkable—they can withstand levels of oxygen so low that few animals con survive, they are able to breathe anaerobically for long periods, and endure concentrations of hydrogen sulphide toxic to many organisms.
