Gas Transport: A trout swims from its normal cold water habitatinto a warm water cooling pond. Clearly this is a dangeroussituation. Heat shock isn’t an issue. It isn’t that warm. But it isstill quite a bit warmer than the cold, fast, highly mixed streamthat the trout was in before. So, what about the pond water makesit dangerous? In terms of the trout’s blood will the trout be ableto extract what it needs from the pond water? Explain. Will thewarmer environment affect the exchange of gasses within the trout,say at muscle and other tissues? Explain.
