The effect of salinity on resting oxygen uptake was measured in the perch Perca fluviatilis
and available information on oxygen uptake in teleost species at a variety of salinities was …

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

Fingerling grass carp, Ctenopharyngodon idella, 90–160 mm tl, were acclimated to
experimental salinities of< 1 (fresh water), 91, 195 and 317 mOsm/kg. Oxygen consumption …

The metabolic response of juvenile coho salmon Oncorhynchus kisutch to different salinities
was examined, using whole‐animal oxygen consumption rates and gill Na+, K+‐ATPase …

The present study determined the blood plasma osmolality and oxygen consumption of the
perch Perca fluviatilis at different salinities (0, 10 and 15) and temperatures (5, 10 and 20° …

The solubility of oxygen in water is only ca. 1/30, and the rate of oxygen diffusion only
1/10,000, of that in air. Because of these properties of water, the oxidation of organic …

Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on what is known about oxygen transport in
tropical fishes, with emphasis on freshwater fishes of the Amazon and India, for which the …

Aquatic environments exhibit large spatial and temporal variations in physico-chemical
factors that influence the physiology of fishes. Environmental changes in O 2 and CO 2 …

An increase in the functional surface area (FSA) of the gills of freshwater fish facilitates
increased oxygen consumption but also increases ion loss across the gills-a phenomenon …
