Cardiovascular and ventilatory control during hypoxia

  • Chapter
Fish Ecophysiology

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

Abstract

The cardiovascular and respiratory physiology of fish has been an area of major interest in comparative physiology for several decades, but the systems that control these functions and the nature of the nervous reflexes that regulate cardiovascular and respiratory functions have received relatively little interest. Research on cardiovascular control systems has been largely restricted to adrenergic vasomotor control - adrenergic neurones and circulating catecholamines - and of course also the double antagonistic cholinergic and adrenergic innervation of the teleost heart. In addition, recent studies have discussed whether catecholamines are involved in ventilatory control in teleosts (Aota et al., 1990; Playl et al., 1990; Kinkead and Perry, 1990,1991; Perry et al., 1991).
