Abstract

Under conditions of experiment, effect of outer hypoxia on the hemoglobin heterogeneous system and respiratory blood characteristics were studied in the golden mullet Lisa aurata R. The control fish group was maintained at oxygen pressure of 158–162 gPa, the experimental group at 54–55 gPa. The exposure was 15 days, the water temperature—15°C. Under conditions of oxygen deficit in the mullet body there is noted development of a complex of compensatory reactions directed to maintenance of the oxygen blood capacity. Initially (the 1st–2nd day), the release of erythrocytes from spleen is noted, which increases the number of red blood cells and the hemoglobin concentration in blood (the emergency adaptation). Subsequently (the 10–15th day), there occur quantitative readjustments at the level of the hemoglobin system, which lead to an increase in the blood affinity to oxygen and to a decrease in its sensitivity to pH (the long-term adaptation). The revealed changes take place on the background of a decrease in volume of circulating erythrocytes, which reflects the character of change of erythrocytic parameters (MCV, MCHC) and seems to be a consequence of partial dehydration of blood plasma.
