SODIUM- AND POTASSIUM-ACTIVATED ADENOSINE TRIPHOSPHATASE IN KIDNEYS OF FUNDULUS HETEROCLITUS ADAPTED TO FRESH AND SALT WATER¶
It is well known that glomerular teleosts excrete a profuse dilute urine in fresh water and a scanty urine isotonic to plasma in seawater. ' The striking changes in renal function that ensue when euryhaline fish are transferred from seawater to freshwater or the reverse have been studied in fiv...
