The labyrinth organ, a defining characteristic of fishes in the suborder Anabantoidei, is a much-folded suprabranchial accessory breathing organ. It is formed by vascularized expansion of the epibranchial bone of the first gill arch and used for respiration in air.

Or more simply put, this organ allows labyrinth fish to take in oxygen directly from the air, instead of taking it from the water they reside in through use of gills. The labyrinth organ helps the inhaled oxygen to be absorbed into the bloodstream. As a result, labyrinth fishes can survive for a short period of time out of water, as they can inhale the air around them, provided they stay moist.

Labyrinth fish, however, are not born with functional labyrinth organs. The development of the organ is gradual and most labyrinth fish fry breathe entirely with their gills and develop the labyrinth organs when they grow older

Several labyrinth fishes are important food sources in their native countries. The giant gourami in particular, is highly valued as food fish, due to its size and tender flesh with few spines. This species is farmed extensively in Thailand and other Southeast Asian countries and was intentionally introduced in tropical and subtropical waters around the world. During the colonial period, the French attempted to introduce this fish to many of their territories. Although an attempt to introduce a population in southern France failed, the giant gourami became well established in other French colonies. In the late 1880s, there were unsuccessful attempts to introduce the giant gourami to California waters as food fish. In the 1950s, the giant gourami population was established in Hawaii.

Other smaller labyrinth fishes, such as the climbing perch, the kissing gourami, the snakeskin gourami, and other gouramies of the genus Trichogaster are local food fishes in Southeast Asia. In some areas, the fishes are processed into salted and dried food
