"We find that the ability af the fish to utilize oxygen in the water is Influenced by the amount of car bon dioxide in the water," threo sclentists from the Edward Martin Blologlcal Laboratory of Swarth- more, Pennsylvania, told a recent mooting in Toronto of the Federa- tion of American Societies for kx- perimental Biology. The three - biologists, Laurence Irving, Edgar C. Black and Vi Saf- ford, reported that "each species of fish has its own characteristic tol- erance and the species may bo ar- ranged in regular order begining with the trout as the most seasi- tive, following with the sucker, perch, sunfish, chain pickercl, bass, shiner, carp, eel and catfish, This suggests that the external oxygen supply determines the ability of the fish to llve in certain water."
