Extract

Changes in blood glucose levels in teleosts have been reviewed by a number of workers. Epple (1969) considered the regulation of glucose by the insulin of the fish pancreatic islet tissue, Nakano & Tomlinson (1967) examined the regulation of glucose by the catecholamines, Black, Robertson & Parker (1961) considered glucose in carbohydrate metabolism of teleost muscle, while knowledge of regulation of blood glucose in Chondrichthyans has recently been extended and reviewed by Patent (1968, 1970). The investigation of blood glucose levels and their control mechanisms dealt with in this paper forms part of a broader study of the changes that occur when fish are caught from the wild and placed in aquaria (Wardle, 1968, 1971, and unpublished). In this study, capture is considered as a stimulus imposed on the wild fish, which initiates a series of physiological changes that can be measured as the fish adapts to the aquarium.
