| Notes: |
Transfer of rainbow trout from fresh water to 20‰ sea water decreased dorsal aortic Po2 from 90 to 60 mmHg within 1 h. Arterial Po2 was depressed for 24 h before it returned to control values. The internal hypoxia rapidly reduced the red cell nucleoside triphosphate content, suggesting prompt regulation of blood O2 affinity. The extracellular acid-base status changed towards a small mixed metabolic and respiratory acidosis.
