Response of the gill Na + ‐K + ATPase activity, succinic dehydrogenase activity and chloride cells to saltwater adaptation in Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L., parr and smolt
Gill succinic dehydrogenase and Na + ‐K + ATPase activities were stimulated by salt water transfer in parr and smolt. Both activities were preferentially located in the chloride cells. Salt water adaptation induced proliferation and enlargement of the chloride cells. Hypertrophy of the chloride cell...

| Summary: | Gill succinic dehydrogenase and Na + ‐K + ATPase activities were stimulated by salt water transfer in parr and smolt. Both activities were preferentially located in the chloride cells. Salt water adaptation induced proliferation and enlargement of the chloride cells. Hypertrophy of the chloride cell system occurred in parr adapted to salt water. |
