Ontogenesis of osmotic regulation in the striped mullet, Mugil cephalus L.
The osmoregulatory capabilities of juvenile striped mullet, Mugil cephalus L ., of three size‐groups (20–29, 30–39 and 40–9 mm s.l.) were compared in a series of six salinities ranging from fresh water to full sea water. The two smaller size‐groups were able to tolerate instantaneous transfer from t...
