Quantitative Study of Capillary Supply to the Skeletal Muscles of Crucian Carp Carassius carassius L.: Effects of Hypoxic Acclimation

Abstract

In aerated water at 15 C the routine oxygen consumption (\documentclass{aastex} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{bm} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{pifont} \usepackage{stmaryrd} \usepackage{textcomp} \usepackage{portland,xspace} \usepackage{amsmath,amsxtra} \usepackage{wasysym} \pagestyle{empty} \DeclareMathSizes{10}{9}{7}{6} \begin{document}${\mathrm{\dot{V}_{O_{2}}}}$\end{document}) of crucian carp (Carassius carassius L.) was 75.7 ml O₂·kg⁻¹⁻¹h-1.
