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 …

How teleosts take up Na+ from the surrounding freshwater (FW) as well as the underlying
mechanisms associated with this process have received considerable attention over the …

Eriocheir sinensis has a special habit of migrating from marine to freshwater during its larval
developmental stage. Salinity is an important environmental factor affecting the survival rate …

The structural and functional similarity of the larval zebrafish pronephros to the human
nephron, together with the recent development of easier and more precise techniques to …

Abstract The Ca2+-activated Cl− channel (CaCC) TMEM16A/Anoctamin 1 (ANO1) is
expressed in gastrointestinal epithelia and smooth muscle cells where it mediates secretion …

Fish have sophisticated mechanisms of ionic and acid-base regulation for maintaining body
fluid homeostasis. Many hormones have been proposed to control the ionic and acid-base …

Abstract The Arabian pupfish, Aphanius dispar, is a euryhaline fish inhabiting both inland
nearly-freshwater desert ponds and highly saline Red Sea coastal lagoons of the Arabian …

With remarkably few exceptions, aquatic vertebrates maintain internal Cl− homeostasis
despite strong and sometimes fluctuating Cl− concentration gradients between extracellular …

Background Homeostasis of ions and water is important for the maintenance of cellular
functions. The regulation of the homeostasis is particularly important in euryhaline fish that …

Abstract Molecular mechanisms of Na+, Cl−, and Ca2+ regulation in ionocytes of fish have
been well investigated. However, the regulatory mechanism of K+ in fishes has been largely …
