extra- and intracellular distribution of Na+ and K+, trout transfer into the sea water

Abstract

The extra- and intracellular volumes and the distribution of Na+ and K+ ions in the extra- and intracellular compartments of the muscular, renal and intestinal tissues of trout were measured at different intervals after the transfer into the sea water. The extra- and intracellular volume and the Na+ content increased, and the K+ content decreased in the first day, then was seen a slight tendency of coming back to the initial values (except the intracellular volume), which were reached in the marine fully adapted trout. In these animals a new hydric and ionic equilibrium was reestablished.
