The fish gill is a multipurpose organ that, in addition to providing for aquatic gas exchange,
plays dominant roles in osmotic and ionic regulation, acid-base regulation, and excretion of …

The secondary active Cl− secretion in seawater (SW) teleost fish gills and elasmobranch
rectal gland involves basolateral Na+, K+‐ATPase and NKCC, apical membrane CFTR …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the osmotic and ionic regulation in teleost eggs
and larvae. The teleost egg differs in one major respect from those of the polychaetes …

The gill of fishes is modified for gas exchange, thereby providing a site for net movement of
salts and water down their respective gradients. Specialized cells in the gill epithelium are …

Euryhaline fishes live in a wide salinity range from freshwater to seawater and hypersaline
environments. Euryhaline fishes such as salmon, eels, and tilapia are economically …

Teleost fish osmoregulation is largely the result of integrated transport activities of the gill,
gut and renal system. The basic 'epithelial fabric'in each of these tissues is adapted to …

The common killifish, Fundulus heteroclitus, is a euryhaline teleost common throughout
estuaries of eastern North America. This symposium paper reviews the important …

Teleosts, the bony fishes, inhabit both freshwater and seawater environments. Some
euryhaline fish, such as Fundulus heteroclitus, alternate between the two milieux several …

Opercular membranes isolated from the freshwater-adapted euryhaline teleost,
Sarotherodon mossambicus, and mounted in Ussing-style chambers, have low conductance …

Publisher Summary This chapter describes the ultrastructure of chloride cells in the gill
epithelium of teleostean fishes. It also explores the extent to which changes in water salinity …
