Physiological responses associated with aquatic hypercarbia in the CO₂-tolerant white sturgeon, Acipenser transmontanus
Through investigations conducted at the organismal, tissue and cellular levels, this thesis provides clear evidence that the white sturgeon, Acipenser transmontanus, is among the most CO₂ tolerant of all fishes investigated to date. During moderate increases in water CO₂ tension (PCO₂) (≤ 15 mm Hg P...
