Gadus morhua L. in captivity of ten develop unilateral or bilateral exophthalmia, characterized by the accumulation of gas bubbles in the eye.Rete mirabile-like organization of capillaries in the choroid "gland" in association with the glandular pseudobranch, which is a rich source of carbonic anhydrase in fishes, are involved in gas secretion in the eye of cod. Intraperitoneal injections of Diamox and pseudobranchectomy prevented exopthalmia in the fish.Presence of glycogen and carbonic anhydrase in the choroid gland in relation to gas secretion in the eye suggests a parallel with the process of gas secretion in the teleostean swimbladder.Gas secretion in the eye of cod resulting in exopthalmia would seem to be a malfunctioning of the choroid gland-pseudobranch complex in the fish triggered by unknown stimuli.

Poor Condition

The extent of energy depletion was assessed in Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) in spring and early summer (1993-1995) to assess relationships between poor condition and natural mortality. Several indices of condition were compared in wild fish in the northern Gulf of St. Lawrence and in fish exposed to a prolonged period of starvation in laboratory experiments. Discriminant analyses classified only a small fraction of the wild fish as similar to cod that did not survive and a much larger fraction as similar to cod that survived starvation. This percentage increased from April to May and peaked in June 1993 and 1994. Condition factor and muscle somatic index allowed a clear distinction between live and dead fish. Muscle lactate dehydrogenase activity suggested that cod had experienced a period of negative growth early in 1993, 1994, and 1995. Fish classified as similar to starved individuals were characterized by a higher gonad to liver mass ratio than others. Reproduction may have a negative impact on survival not only in spring but also later into summer, as some individuals were found not to have recovered by late summer. This study shows that natural mortality from poor condition contributed to lower production in the early 1990s.
