There is limited information on how hydrostatic pressure affects the fish heart’s response to other environmental challenges. Exposure to 80 bar of pressure increased the lumpfish’s activity and heart rate and eliminated their heart rate response to moderate hypoxia. However, it did not affect how heart rate changes with temperature.
