Abstract

Pre- and post-branchial blood samples were taken by SCUBA divers from a natural population of Cancer pagurus (L.) and analysed at the site of the dive. The mean PO₂ values were 22 and 76, respectively, and there was no significant difference in PCO₂ and pH. Laboratory determinations indicated that air-equilibrated blood had a mean oxygen content of 1.21 mmol O₂/l and a mean protein concentration of 30.6 g/l. The results are compared with published laboratory investigations which have differed considerably in their description of the blood composition.
