Abstract
The data on the tension and diffusion of oxygen in the skeletal muscles of bony fish are summarized. The methods of the recording and calculation of these traits are compared. It is noted that oxygen diffusion in the skeletal muscles of bony fish is more complicated process than that in higher vertebrates. This process is supposed to be restrained by the membrane structures of muscle tissue cells. Particular attention is paid to the oxygen tension in arterial and venous blood and to the mechanisms of their functional correction. It is shown that the mentioned processes are governed by the humoral and neural control of gill blood flow, along with respiratory and cardiac activity. The contribution of receptors that are sensitive to oxygen and CO2 to the regulation of these functions is discussed.
