Impact of hypercarbia on juvenile fish physiology, behavior, performance, and acclimation potential
… of this thesis was to quantify the impact of hypercarbia on the physiology, behavior, and performance of juvenile fish, with an emphasis on determining the effectiveness of carbon dioxide as a chemical deterrent of juvenile Asian carp movement. The first study used a combination of molecular …

The availability and perceived knowledge of use of airway management devices in emergency centres at referral hospitals in Namibia
… management of the airway may lead to hypoxia and hypercarbia with subsequent secondary brain injury, cardiopulmonary arrest, and ultimately death. The aim of the study was to identify which airway devices are available in public emergency centres of referral hospitals in Namibia and to determine …

Assessing the welfare of adult Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar during commercial live-haul transport
… 3-h and 24-h exposures to elevated water Pco₂ (hypercarbia) on blood pH and post-mortem flesh quality were also measured in adult Atlantic salmon. While elevated water Pco₂ disturbed blood pH as predicted, there were minimal effects on flesh quality based on rigor mortis and flesh pH …

Why do wasp induced galls of Acacia longifolia photosynthesise?
… reducing their respiratory rates to cope with hypercarbia, at least over the short term. Sustained metabolic arrest may, however, have toxic consequences for insects, causing cell damage or even death. The photosynthetic activity of galls substantially reduced internal CO₂ concentrations, thus …
