The energetic aspects of osmoregulation in several species of fish were examined, using an
experimental approach on both a whole-animal and tissue level. The first series of …

Few studies have made direct estimates of the energy required for ion transport in gills of
freshwater (FW) and seawater (SW) fish. Oxygen consumption was measured in excised gill …

This is an overview of our recent studies of energy metabolism in fish brain and other organs
regulated by exogenous (feeding, salinity) and endogenous (hormones) factors. To highlight …

The influence of cortisol on oxygen consumption and osmoregulatory variables was
examined in coastal cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki clarki) parr kept in fresh water (FW) …

The amount of energy required for osmoregulation depends on the difference between
internal and external concentrations of ions (Rao 1968; Farmer and Beamish 1969) …

Oxygen consumption of Tilapia nilotica (L.) at 25 C was measured for various swimming
speeds at salinities of 0, 7.5, 11.6, 22.5, and 30‰. Oxygen consumption for a given …

The impact of different environmental salinities on the energy metabolism of gills, kidney,
liver, and brain was assessed in gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) acclimated to brackish …

We have investigated how the maintenance, net cost of swimming and total (maintenance+
net cost of swimming) metabolic rates of red, hybrid tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus♀× …

Some aspects of osmoregulation energetics have been studied in the euryhaline teleost
Tilapia mossambica (Peters) acclimated to media of different salinities. In stress media (75 …

The Mozambique tilapia, Oreochromis mossambicus, is capable of surviving a wide range of
salinities and temperatures. The present study was undertaken to investigate the influence …
