Carbon dioxide excretion and acid-base regulation in the freshwater rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) : involvement of the branchial epithelium and red blood cell

Carbon dioxide excretion and acid-base regulation were studied in the freshwater rainbow trout, Salmo gairdneri. Two different models for CO₂ excretion (Ṁ[sub CO₂]) were investigated. One model proposes that erythrocytes are not involved, and that the rate-limiting step in CO₂ excretion is the entry...
