Fig. 1. Blood parameters of fish infused intravenously with either 125 mmol
l-1 HCl (495±79 µmol kg-1 h-1), 250
mmol l-1 NaHCO3 (981±235 µmol kg-1
h-1) or 500 mmol l-1 NaCl (1832± 128 µmol
kg-1 h-1) (mean ± S.E.M.,
N=4). (A) Arterial blood pH. (B) Total [CO2] in plasma
from arterial blood samples. *P<0.05 compared to the
control value (NaCl) of the respective time (RM-ANOVA, one-way ANOVA, Dunnet's
post test).
