Increased ventricular stiffness and decreased cardiac function in Atlantic cod (<i>Gadus morhua</i>) at high temperatures
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We employed the work loop method to study the ability of ventricular and atrial trabeculae from Atlantic cod to sustain power production during repeated contractions at acclimation temperatures (10°C) and when acutely warmed (20°C). Oxygen tension (Po2) was lowered from 450 to 34% air saturation to augment the thermal stress. Preparations worked under conditions simulating either a large stroke volume (35 contractions/min rate, 8-12% muscle strain) or a high heart rate (70 contractions/min, 2-4% strain), with power initially equal under both conditions. The effect of declining Po2 on power was similar under both conditions but was temperature and tissue dependent. In ventricular trabeculae at 10°C (and atria at 20°C), shortening power declined across the full range of Po2 studied, whereas the power required to lengthen the muscle was unaffected. Conversely, in ventricular trabeculae at 20°C, there was no decline in shortening power but an increase in lengthening power when Po2 fell below 100% air saturation. Finally, when ventricular trabeculae were paced at rates of up to 115 contractions/min at 20°C (vs. the maximum of 70 contractions/min in vivo), they showed marked increases in both shortening and lengthening power. Our results suggest that although elevated heart rates may not impair ventricular power as they commonly do isometric force, limited atrial power and the increased work required to expand the ventricle during diastole may compromise ventricular filling and hence, stroke volume in Atlantic cod at warm temperatures. Neither large strains nor high contraction rates convey an apparent advantage in circumventing this.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
