Abstract:Anthropogenically induced hypoxia in water bodies has been a stressor for fish for many years and is expected to persist in the future. In order to investigate the acclimation response of fish gills to chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) stress, we conducted a study using largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) exposed to intermittent hypoxia (dissolved oxygen level: 2.0 mg·L− 1) for either one or three hours per day, over a period of 8 weeks. Our findings indicate that exposure to CIH induced remodeling of the… Show more
