Gill Morphology and Acid-Base Regulation in Freshwater Fishes
Abstract
This review examines the recent advances in our understanding of the mechanisms of ion transport and acid-base regulation in the freshwater fish gill. The application of a combination of morphological, immunocytochemical and biochemical techniques has yielded considerable insight into the field. An important mechanism for regulation of Cl- uptake/base excretion is by morphological modification of the gill epithelium. During acidosis, the …
