Figure 5

(A) Heart rate (fH, bpm) and (B) the percentage change in fH (as a % of initial values at 0 or 80 bar) in lumpfish exposed to decreasing oxygen levels (air saturation, %) in the IPOCAMP chamber over 3–4 hours. Prior to the decrease in oxygen levels, lumpfish were held at atmospheric pressure (black circles; n = 8) or exposed to 80 bar of pressure (grey circles; n = 8). An asterisk represents a significant difference in the slopes of the relationships between control and pressure-exposed lumpfish. (C) The percentage of QI0 ECGs were provided by the Star-Oddi Mercury software, and in this panel, an asterisk represents a significant difference between pressure-exposed and control groups at a particular oxygen level. Within each treatment group, there were no differences in the quality of ECGs. Data were recorded every 5 minutes, and the symbols represent means ± S.E.M (6 values per fish).
