Dominy, C. L. (1971). Changes in blood lactic acid concentrations in alewives Alosa pseudoharengus during passage through a pool and weir fishway. Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada. 28:1215-1217.
Blood lactic acid concentration of anadromous A. pseudoharengus sampled during their upstream migration through a pool and weir fishway was not extremely high (46.7 mg/100 ml) and the degree of exercise exhibited during ascent was judged to be moderate. for fish that were subjected experimentally to severe exercise, the concentration (108.7 mg/100 ml) was more than 5 times that for rested fish (18.9 mg/100 ml). of the 3 groups of fish sampled directly from the fishway pools, only 1 had an average concentration that differed significantly from that for the rested state.
