During vertebrate evolution, structural changes in red blood cells (RBC) and hemoglobin (Hb), have probably resulted in the importance of blood carbon dioxide transport. The chloride/bicarbonate exchange across the RBC membrane, which is an integral part of the blood CO2 transport process in vertebrates, has been examined on two different species of teleost fish, Euthynnus alletteratus and Thunnus thynnus, at several oxygenation states of erythrocyte HOS (high-oxygenation state, about 90 % of saturation) and LOS (low-oxygenation state, about 15 % of saturation). The results were compared with those observed in human RBC under the same experimental conditions and with the chicken (Gallus gallus) erythrocytes, which have particular modifications at the N-terminus of the band 3 protein (B3). In fish the kinetic measurements have shown a different anion transport in several oxygenation states of erythrocytes, indicating that also at lower levels of vertebrate evolution there exists a modulation of the anionic flow affected by oxygen. The functional correlation of anion transport to changes of parts of the hemoglobin sequence responsible for alterations in the interactions with the cytoplasmic domain of band 3 protein (cdb3) allowed us to suggest a hypothesis about fish physiology. The highest values of kinetic measurements observed in fish have been attributed to the metabolic need of the RBC in response to the removal of CO2 that in teleosts is also of endogenous origin., A.

The problematics of creation and development of bank erosion, follow-up repairs of abrasion damaged banks and development of abrasion progress prognostic methods is often discussed. One of the contributions to this discussion is presentation of ''Modificated Methods of Abrasion Terminal Line Determination''. The prognosis of bank erosion advance is determined also in areas, where original condition of bank is unknown. This method was successfully verified during years 1998-2001 at Brno Reservoir on the Svratka River and can be used at other dam reservoirs as well. and O problematice vzniku a rozvoje břehové abraze, o návrzích následné sanace abrazí poškozených břehů a vývoji prognostických metod postupu abraze se v posledních letech diskutuje stále častěji. Jedním z příspěvků k této diskusi je i prezentace ''modifikované metody určení abrazní terminanty''. Jedná se zde o stanovení prognózy postupu břehové abraze, a to i v oblastech, ve kterých neznáme původní stav pobřeží. Tato metoda byla úspěšně ověřována v letech 1998-2001 na údolní nádrži Brno na řece Svratce a je široce použitelná i na jiných vodních dílech.
