The metabolic aspects of ionic and osmotic regulation in fish are not well understood. The
objective of this study was to examine changes in carbohydrate metabolism during seawater …

Glucose, which plays a central role in providing energy for metabolism, is primarily stored as
glycogen. The synthesis and degradation of glycogen are mainly initialized by glycogen …

Activities of phosphofructokinase, glycogen phosphorylase, and glucose-6-phosphate de
hydrogenase, key enzymes in carbohydrate metabolism in the liver, were all higher in 50 …

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 …

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 …

This study investigated the effects of two rearing salinities, and acute salinity transfer, on the
energetic costs of osmoregulation and the expression of metabolic and osmoregulatory …

We tested the hypothesis that nutritional state affects seawater acclimation by transferring
either fed or food-deprived (2 weeks) male tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus) from fresh …

The ability to transition from freshwater to seawater environments is an intrinsic requirement
of the life history of some fish species, including the anadromous rainbow trout …

Abstract The Mozambique tilapia, Oreochromis mossambicus, is a teleost fish native to
estuarine waters that vary in salinity between fresh water (FW) and seawater (SW). The …

Changes in different osmoregulatory and metabolic parameters over time were assessed in
gills, kidney, liver and brain of gilthead sea bream Sparus auratus transferred either from …
