A novel acidification mechanism for greatly enhanced oxygen supply to the fish retina

Previously, we showed that the evolution of high acuity vision in fishes was directly associated with their unique pH-sensitive hemoglobins that allow O(2) to be delivered to the retina at PO(2)s more than ten-fold that of arterial blood (Damsgaard et al., 2019).
