Pinctada margaritifera cannulation hemolymph acid-base balance Pco_2 dissociation constant of carbonic acid
We examined hemolymph pH, total CO_2 content(Tco_2, mM/l), CO_2 partial pressure(Pco_2, mmHg)and bicarbonate concentration([HCO_3^-], mM/l) in order to evaluate the acid-base balance of the black-lip pearl oyster Pinctada margaritifera under normoxic conditions. Hemolymph was collected anaerobically through a cannula after catheterization of the adductor muscle. The mean values of the hemolymph pH and Tco_2 were 7.563 and 2.04 mM/l, respectively. Using the CO_2 solubility coefficient and apparent dissociation constant of carbonic acid determined in this study, Pco_2 and [HCO_3^-] were calculated as 1.50 mmHg and 1.98 mM/l, respectively. These values were in same range as those of the hemolymph of the akoya pearl oyster P. fucata.
