Summary, Etc. Note: |
Abstract: Concentrations of 16 organic and inorganic components of the blood and serum of the smallmouth bass (Micropterus dolomieui) were measured every 3 to 4 weeks from June 24 to November 18, 1958. Components measured included proteins, nonprotein nitrogen fractions, phosphorus fractions, electrolytes, and cholesterol in serum ; and glucose, creatinine, and iron in the blood. |

Abstract: Conenctrations of 13 of the 16 components displayed systematic rather than random variation and appeared to be cyclic when plotted against time. Levels of several of the components decreased in successive samples during the early part of the experimental period only to reverse this trend and increase throughout the remainder of the period. Other components displayed inverse behavior to this scheme. |

Abstract: Three periods of different of the concentration curves. Available evidence suggests that endocrine relations are responsible for changes noted in blood composition. A scheme of hormone-hormone antagonism is proposed, which would account for the observed results. |
