Assimilation of water and dietary ions by the gastrointestinal tract during digestion in seawater-acclimated rainbow trout
Abstract
Recent studies focusing on the consequences of feeding for ion and water balance in freshwater fish have revealed the need for similar comparative studies in seawater fish. A detailed time course sampling of gastrointestinal (GI) tract contents following the ingestion of a single meal of a commercial diet revealed the assimilation of both water and dietary ions (Na+, Cl−, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+) along the GI tract of seawater-acclimated rainbow trout …
