Acetylcholine caused vasoconstriction whilst adrenaline and isoprenaline caused vasodilation in isolated perfused Pacific salmon gills. The detergent LAS produced concentration dependent vasodilation when present in the perfusate in concentrations of 0.6 to 3 mg 1 −1 . The effect of LAS was partly b...
