THE REGULATION OF BRANCHIAL BLOOD-FLOW IN THE BLACKTIP REEF SHARK, CARCHARHINUS-MELANOPTERUS (CARCHARHINIDAE, ELASMOBRANCHII)
The innervation of the branchial vasculature of the blacktip reef shark, Carcharhinus melanopterus, appears similar to that described for other elasmobranchs, Isolated perfused gill arch preparations were used in a study of vascular responses to branchial nerve stimulation. The pre-addition of 10(-5...
