Red blood cell number in circulation in Arctic charr Salvelinus alpinus increases in spring at a time when water temperature in the natural environment is increasing. Experimental anaemia was unable to stimulate erythropoiesis in charr acclimated to 8 or 14o C in any of the four seasons, in contrast to other fish species studied.
