Blood viscosity in arctic fishes
Abstract The blood viscosity of arctic char, Salvelinus alpinus , and shorthorn sculpin, Myoxocephalus scorpius , from the arctic (74° 42′N) was measured with a cone‐plate viscometer. Blood viscosity of the two arctic species was considerably lower, less shear rate dependent, and less temperature de...
