Fish, like mammals, have to maintain their body fluid ionic and osmotic homeostasis through
sophisticated iono-/osmoregulation mechanisms, which are conducted mainly by ionocytes …

Zebrafish (Danio rerio) possesses several advantages as an experimental organism,
including the applicability of molecular tools, ease of in vivo cellular observation and …

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 …

Pericardial edema is commonly observed in zebrafish embryo-based chemical toxicity

Fish aquaculture facilities strive to maintain abiotic conditions that optimise somatic growth.
Two physiological systems that are critically linked to environmental abiotic factors are ion …

Life in fresh water is osmotically and energetically challenging for living organisms, requiring
increases in ion uptake from dilute environments. However, mechanisms of ion uptake from …
