Figures
- Fig. 1.
Rates of oxygen consumption (ṀO2; A) and net ammonia excretion (B) prior to and following exhaustive exercise in shortnose and Atlantic sturgeon. Asterisks denote significant differences (P<0.05) from resting values (C), and a dagger indicates a significant difference (P<0.05) between shortnose and Atlantic sturgeon at a particular sampling time. Negative values indicate net ammonia losses from the fish (net efflux). Values are means ± s.e.m. (N=8, for each species for ṀO2; N=6 for each species for ammonia excretion).
- Fig. 2.
Phosphocreatine (PCr; A) and glycogen (B) concentrations (μmol g–1) in the muscle of shortnose sturgeon at rest (C) and following 0, 1, 2 and 6 h of recovery after exhaustive exercise. An asterisk denotes a significant difference (P<0.05) from the resting value. Values are means + s.e.m. (N=7–11).
- Fig. 3.
Lactate (A), pyruvate (B) and glucose (C) concentrations (μmol g–1) in the muscle of shortnose sturgeon at rest (C) and following 0, 1, 2 and 6 h of recovery after exhaustive exercise. An asterisk denotes a significant difference (P<0.05) from resting values. Values are means + s.e.m. (N=7–11).
- Fig. 4.
Lactate concentration (mmol l–1) (A) and osmolality (mosmol kg–1) (B) in the plasma of shortnose sturgeon at rest (C) and following 0, 2 and 6 h of recovery after exhaustive exercise. An asterisk denotes a significant difference (P<0.05) from the resting value. Values are means + s.e.m. (N=5–7).

Springy bamboo poles help villagers carry more than their own body weight
People in Southeast Asia often carry extremely heavy loads suspended from a bouncy bamboo pole slung over one shoulder. It turns out that they adjust their stride to bounce in time with the pole, allowing them to save 20% of their energy. Read more.

Commentary — The utility and determination of Pcrit in fishes
Gordon Ultsch and Matthew Regan outline why Pcrit is a useful and informative comparator of hypoxia tolerance in fishes, provided it is determined using standardized respirometry methods and sound statistical approaches.
Where will your research take you?
Early-career researchers can apply for up to £2,500 to offset the cost of travel and expenses to make collaborative visits to other labs around the world. Read about Pierre’s experience in Greenland, where he continued research into the Greenland Shark’s remarkable longevity.
