Abstract	European eels (Anguilla anguilla) were exposed sequentially to partial pressures of CO2 in the water (PwCO2) of 5, 10, 20, 40, 60 then 80 mm Hg (equivalent to 0.66–10.5 kPa), for 30 min at each level. This caused a profound drop in arterial plasma pH, from 7.9 to below 7.2, an increase in arterial PCO2 from 3.0 mm Hg to 44 mm Hg, and a progressive decline in arterial blood O2 content (caO2) from 10.0% to 1.97% volume. Gill ventilation rate increased significantly at water PwCO2s of 10, 20 and 40 mm Hg, followed by a decline at PwCO2s of 60 and 80 mm Hg, due to periodic breathing. Mean opercular pressure amplitude increased steadily throughout hypercapnic exposure and was significantly elevated at a PwCO2 of 80 mm Hg. Hypercapnia caused a tachycardia between PwCO2s of 5 mmHg and 10 mm Hg, followed by a progressive decline in heart rate. Cardiac output (CO) remained unchanged throughout, as a consequence of a significant increase in stroke volume at PwCO2s of 40, 60 and 80 mm Hg. The eels maintained O2 uptake at routine normocapnic levels throughout hypercapnic exposure. A comparison of the rates of blood O2 delivery (calculated from CO and caO2) against O2 consumption at PwCO2s of 60 mm Hg and 80 mm Hg indicated that a portion of O2 uptake was due to cutaneous respiration. Thus, the European eel's exceptional tolerance of acute hypercapnia is probably a consequence of the tolerance of its heart to acidosis and hypoxia, and a contribution to O2 uptake from cutaneous respiration.
