10 Ultrastructural and Morphometric Studies on Ion and Acid-Base Transport Processes in Freshwater Fish

Publisher This chapter presents ultrastructural and morphometric studies on ion and acid–base transport processes in freshwater fish. The freshwater fish gill shares a number of common functional and morphological features with some well-characterized epithelial surfaces, including the frog skin, the toad and turtle urinary bladder, and the cortical collecting duct of the mammalian kidney. The response of the trout gill to intravascular …
