The same way as other animals with "lungs".
Air is taken into the body and gaseous exchange occurs with the red blood cells.
The "lungs" of a lungfish are much simpler in structure than those of a mammal. They are just simple sacs, rather then the spongelike structures of mammal lungs. The general way they work is the same as a mammal's lungs, but they are not as efficient, having a smaller surface area.
