Studies are presented describing some physiological responses of rock bass (Ambloplites rupestris) to diurnal hypoxia. Diurnal hypoxia altered the levels of hemoglobin, hematocrit and total plasma protein, gill ventilation rates, and growth. Electrophoretic analyses established that plasma, myogen, and hemogen fractions also were altered significantly. However, the biological significance of changes in protein composition remains uncertain.
