SUMMARY
The solubility coefficients (a) for the inert gases, nitrogen (N2) and argon (Ar), were measured by mass spectrometry in whole blood of the freshwater-adapted European eel, Anguilla anguilla, at varied pH and at two temperatures, 5 and 15°C. The pH was altered either by varying Pco? (075—75 mmHg; 1...

| Summary: | The solubility coefficients (a) for the inert gases, nitrogen (N2) and argon (Ar), were measured by mass spectrometry in whole blood of the freshwater-adapted European eel, Anguilla anguilla, at varied pH and at two temperatures, 5 and 15°C. The pH was altered either by varying Pco? (075—75 mmHg; 1 mmHg = 133-3 Pa) or by adding fixed acid (HC1 or lactic acid). No dependence of a on pH (range 5-5-8-4) or on lactate concentration (range 0-2-25 mmol I"1) was detectable. Average values (±S.D.) for a (/imol \~x mmHg"1) |
