Abstract
The respiratory function of the blood of brook trout, acclimated to summer and winter conditions, was investigated at various temperatures and at various tensions of carbon dioxide. The marked sensitivity of hemoglobin to carbon dioxide served to offset the influence of lower temperature upon the equilibrium of oxygen and hemoglobin. There did not appear to be any adaptation of the Bohr effect to differences in acclimation temperatures.Keywords
