Environmental perturbations of oxygen transport in teleost fishes: causes, consequences and compensations

  • Chapter
Fish Ecophysiology

Part of the book series: Chapman & Hall Fish and Fisheries Series ((FIFI,volume 9))

Abstract

Aquatic environments exhibit large spatial and temporal variations in physico- chemical factors that influence the physiology of fishes. Environmental changes in O2 and CO2 tensions, temperature, salinity, acidity, and input of toxic substances can be of both man-made and natural origin. Oxygen-depleted waters, for instance, occur naturally in habitats with heavy degradation of organic matter. Anthropogenic activity has expanded the number of environments with ‘extreme conditions’, and has created new environmental problems. Periodic or chronic oxygen depletion resulting from eutrophication is now a well-known phenomenon in many freshwater and coastal areas. Combustion of fossil fuels (emitting nitrogen and sulphur oxides) has acidified many freshwater ecosystems. Furthermore industrial activity has increasingly contaminated waters with toxic substances.
