โฆ Synopsis
Methods have been developed which permit measurements of cardiac output and sampling of mixed venous and arterial blood in the elasmobranch, Squalus acanthias. These methods have been utilized to characterize some of the parameters involved in gill gas exchange. A total of 17 animals have been studied with the following results. Cardiac output: 1.49 2 0.57 I/kg/hr.; VO,: 38.3 t 2 2 . 1 ml/kg/hr.; i c o z :

T h e composition of elasmobranch plasma differs strikingly from that of mammals. Urea concentrations of extracellular fluid (ECF) are greatly elevated as compared to mammals. In addition, extracellular concentrations of Na+ and C1-are substantially higher while extracellular concentrations of total
