Salinity effects on osmoregulation and growth of the euryhaline flounder Paralichthys orbignyanus
The flounder, Paralichthys orbignyanus, is found in coastal and estuarine waters of the Western South Atlantic Ocean. It is being considered for aquaculture due to its high market price and wide tolerance to environmental factors such as salinity, pH, and nitrogenous compounds. The objective of this...

The flounder, Paralichthys orbignyanus, is found in coastal and estuarine waters of the Western South Atlantic Ocean. It is being considered for aquaculture due to its high market price and wide tolerance to environmental factors such as salinity, pH, and nitrogenous compounds. The objective of this study was to characterize the ionic and osmotic regulation of P. orbignyanus over the range of its tolerated ambient salinities (0–40x) and to evaluate the survival and growth in freshwater (0x) and seawater (30x) over 90 days. After 15 days of exposure to different salinities (0x, 10x, 20x, 30xand 40x), plasma osmolality and ionic (Na +, Cl _, K+ and Ca2 + ) concentrations slightly increased with salinity.
