Abstract
1. 1. Carbonic anhydrase (CA) activity was measured in blood and in gill tissue of coho salmon smolts during chronic exercise and subsequent transfer into seawater. 2. 2. The mean level of CA activity was higher in blood than gill tissue in both freshwater and seawater. 3. 3. CA activity in gill tissue increased significantly after the smolts had adapted to seawater. 4. 4. CA activity in blood decreased significantly in the group of fish given the highest exercise level after they had adapted to seawater. 5. 5. There were no significant differences in CA activity in gill tissue between control and exercise groups in either freshwater or seawater.
