Gas Transport: A trout swims from its normal cold water habitat into a warm wate

Question

Gas Transport: A trout swims from its normal cold water habitat into a warm water cooling pond. Clearly this is a dangerous situation. Heat shock isn’t an issue. It isn’t that warm. But it is still quite a bit warmer than the cold, fast, highly mixed stream that the trout was in before. So, what about the pond water makes it dangerous? In terms of the trout’s blood will the trout be able to extract what it needs from the pond water? Explain. Will the warmer environment affect the exchange of gasses within the trout, say at muscle and other tissues? Explain.
