1. Determiniation of holding tank requirements to maintain both blue-throated warsse and horseshoe leatherjackets on capture (i.e. correct stocking levels and flow rates)
2. Elucidation of an acceptable acclimation procedure for survival at low temperatures for both species
3. Determination of the incipient lethal temperature for transportation (i.e. the lowest temperature beyond which species cannot live for an indefinite period.
4. Determination of the effects of lactate and hypercapnia on comatose animals.
