Cardiac and ventilatory responses of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) to environmental hypoxia and hypercapnea

Studies were undertaken to determine the cardiac and ventilatory responses of restrained and unrestrained rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) to changes in inspired oxygen and carbon dioxide tensions. The role of blood oxygen carrying capacity in the control of ventilation was investigated, as well as t...
