Exhaustive exercise in freshwater (FW) and seawater (SW) rainbow trout resulted in a marked and acute increase of plasma catecholamines. Immediately after exercise, epinephrine and norepinephrine concentrations in FW trout were 69 and 15 times the resting level, respectively; in SW trout, they were 46 and 11 times the resting value, respectively. Over the 1st h of recovery, the magnitude of the catecholamine surge in FW animals was about twice that of their SW counterparts. Correlated with this was an extracellular pH disturbance in FW trout, which was approximately twice as severe as in SW trout. Indeed, both the magnitudes and time courses of the plasma catecholamine responses were matched to those of the acid-base disturbances. Linear correlations were found to exist between the immediate depression of blood pH and the corresponding increases in plasma epinephrine and norepinephrine. We conclude that catecholamines are released into the plasma in proportion to the magnitude of the acid-base disturbance. The higher postexercise levels of plasma catecholamines in FW trout vs. SW appear to be a response to the greater acid-base disturbance in the FW animals.
