Abstract: | Summary The effects of two levels of water carbonate alkalinity (CA=0.3–0.5 meq·l−1 and CA=12–13.5 meq·l−1) on arterial blood acid-base status (

) and plasma ionic composition (Na+, K+, Cl−) were investigated in trout living in normoxic-normocapnic water at 15°C.
The results show that a high level of carbonate alkalinity induced a decrease in
and a situation of mixed respiratory and metabolic acidosis compared to that in low CA water.
These changes are accompanied by significant changes in ionic composition but the levels of oxygen consumption are unchanged.
The role of the different capacitance coefficients of water for CO2 and the effects of the different ionic composition of water on ionic and gascous exchanges are discussed.
