Fig. 6. The effects of hypercapnia (water PCO2=7.5
mmHg) on trout gill NHE2 (A) and NHE3 (B) relative mRNA levels. Gill NHE2 mRNA
levels were significantly increased at 3, 12 and 24 h of hypercapnia
(P values of 0.014, 0.031 and 0.040, respectively). Gill NHE3 mRNA
levels were unchanged throughout the period of hypercapnia exposure.
