The effect of temperature on haemoglobin–oxygen binding affinity in regionally endothermic and ectothermic sharks Phillip R. Morrison, Diego Bernal, Chugey A. Sepulveda, Colin J. Brauner ABSTRACT: Haemoglobin (Hb)–O2 binding affinity typically decreases with increasing temperature, but several species of ectothermic and regionally endothermic fishes exhibit reduced Hb thermal sensitivity. Regionally endothermic sharks, including the common
