Fish encounter harsh ionic/osmotic gradients on their aquatic environments, and the
mechanisms through which they maintain internal homeostasis are more challenging …

The article discusses advances in osmoregulation and excretion with emphasis on how
multicellular animals in different osmotic environments regulate their milieu intérieur …

Next-generation sequencing technology provides novel opportunities for gathering genome-
scale sequence data in natural populations, laying the empirical foundation for the evolving …

Freshwater fishes lose ions to the external medium owing to the steep concentration
gradients between the body fluids and the water. To maintain homeostasis, they use …

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 …

Ionic regulation and acid–base balance are fundamental to the physiology of vertebrates
including fish. Acidification of freshwater ecosystems is recognized as a global …

Fish living in marine and freshwater environments face contrasting challenges in terms of
maintaining salt and water balance. The present chapter summarizes and reviews much of …

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 …
