A Study of Diffusional Permeability of Water, Sodium and Chloride in Yolk-Sac Larvae of Cod (Gadus Morhua L.)
1. The fluxes of 3H 2 O, 22Na and 36Cl were simultaneously measured in yolk-sac larvae of cod ( Gadus morhua L.) in 34 sea water at 4.5°C. 2. The rates of turnover of all three isotopes were higher than in adult fish. Diffusional permeability coefficients, which relate ion fluxes to surface area, we...
