How does carbon dioxide affect the fish?

0

The ability of haemoglobin to carry oxygen is inhibited under high carbon dioxide levels (hypercarbia). This can lead to suffocation, gasping, general lowered immunity, or nephrocalcinosis. Different fish have different tolerances to CO2. Some species are extremely sensitive while others don’t seem affected at all.
