The Oxygen Equilibrium of the Hemoglobin of the Eel, Anguilla Rostrata
نویسنده
چکیده
Kawamoto had reported that eel hemoglobin has a hyperbolic oxygen equilibrium function, with n in the Hill equation equal to 1. On the basis of Kawamoto's data and with new measurements, it is shown that the equilibrium function is in fact S-shaped, as in most other vertebrates, and n in Hill's equation equals 1.8.

Differential effects of origin and salinity rearing conditions on growth of glass eels of the American eel Anguilla rostrata: implications for stocking programmes.
In this study, growth patterns were monitored in controlled fresh and brackish water (BW) conditions for 7 months during Anguilla rostrata glass eel and elver stages. Null hypotheses tested were that there is no significant difference in growth between glass eels (1) collected from two geographic regions typified by different sex ratios, (2) reared in fresh and BW and (3) due to origin x salini...

Unlike the whole body oxygen affinity, which adapts readily to environmental oxygen tensions, haemoglobins, prepared from normoxic- and hypoxic-accimated eels (Anguilla anguilla) show no adaptive changes in oxygenation properties or in multiplicity. Hypoxic acclimation is, howeveer, accompanied by a strong decrease in red cell nucleoside triphosphates, particularly guanosine triphospphate (GTP)...
متن کاملAmerican eel, Anguilla rostrata, growth in fresh and salt water: implications for conservation and aquaculture
Growth of American eels, Anguilla rostrata (Lesueur), sampled in saltwater bays and adjacent freshwater ponds in the southern Gulf of St. Lawrence, Canada, was estimated by otolith annulus back-calculation, and related to salinity of growth habitat as determined using otolith strontium:calcium ratios. Eels resident in salt water grew on average in length 2.2 times faster than freshwater residen...
متن کاملThe relationship between beta-adrenoceptors and adrenergic responsiveness in trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and eel (Anguilla rostrata) erythrocytes.
Experiments were performed in vitro specifically to elucidate the underlying mechanism(s) of the attenuated adrenergic responses of eel (Anguilla rostrata) erythrocytes. This was achieved by comparing beta-adrenoceptor numbers and affinities in addition to (i) Na+/H+ exchange activity, (ii) cell swelling and (iii) cyclic AMP formation mediated by catecholamines in eel and trout (Oncorhynchus my...
متن کاملMagnetic sense in the Japanese eel, Anguilla japonica, as determined by conditioning and electrocardiography.
Magnetosensitivity of the Japanese eel, Anguilla japonica, was examined by conditioning and electrocardiography. Marine eels, river eels and farmed eels were conditioned to an imposed magnetic field ranging from 12,663 nT to 192,473 nT parallel to the fish body, which was placed along the earth's west-east axis. Electrocardiograms were recorded with electrodes placed close to the fish body insi...
