Regulation of the acid-base status is an imperative task for maintenance of homeostasis in living animals. Deviations of pH from the predetermined setpoint values may result in reduced metabolic performance as a result of the often pronounced optima in the overall pH/activity relationships of metabolic pathways. The mechanisms involved in acid-base regulation do not differ among and within vertebrate classes, but the extent to which certain processes are, or can be, utilized may be vastly different. Accordingly, buffering, changes in PCO2, and transmembrane and transepithelial acid-base-relevant ion transfer, which are the main regulatory processes in other vertebrates, are also valid mechanisms for elasmobranch fishes (for closer analysis of relative importance and theoretical limitations of these mechanisms in fishes, see Heisler 1986d, e).
