Post-dive arterial lactic acid concentrations were not different from resting levels unless the previous dive exceeded 20-25 min. Peak lactate concentration was correlated to dive durations. Only 2.7% of the dives of free-ranging seals exceed 26 min. There was a notable drop in body temperature during prolonged dives to as low as 34.9.degree. C. Arterial Hb concentrations immediately after dives (22.7 g%) were significantly higher than concentrations in resting animals (17.4 g%). Blood glucose after dives always rose above resting levels. pH was in the normal mammalian range except after very long dives; in these cases the pH fell as low as 6.8. Blood gases were in the normal mammalian range; based on resting apneic values arterial partial pressure of O2 may drop to remarkably low levels during prolonged dives.
