Osmotic and Ionic Changes in Blood and Muscle of Migrating Salmonids
1. Osmoregulation of the Atlantic salmon in fresh water and sea water, and during transfers from one salinity to another, has been studied by measuring the freezingpoint and the levels of some inorganic ions in the blood plasma, and water content and ions in whole muscle. 2. An increase in blood con...
