A gill biopsy, in which a small portion of gill tissue was removed from anesthetized fish, was shown to have no detrimental effect on subsequent survival, growth, and salinity tolerance of juvenile...

Current understanding indicates that growth hormone promotes acclimation to seawater, prolactin promotes acclamation to fresh water, and cortisol interacts with both of these hormones thus having a dual osmoregulatory function.

It is deduced that NKCC1a is the seawater-type cotransporter involved in ion secretion by type-IV MRCs and that NCC is the freshwater-typecotransporter involved in ions absorption by types-II and type-II M RCs.

The intracellular localization of the three ion transport proteins in type-IV cells is completely consistent with a widely accepted model for ions secretion by MRCs and a new model for ion absorption is proposed based on type-II cells possessing apical NKCC.

It is suggested that different aspects of the transformation have different developmental patterns, the timing of which is species-dependent and responsive to environmental change.

The results suggest that lake trout retains some degree of euryhalinity and that brook trout possesses intermediate eury Halinity between lake trout and Atlantic salmon smolts and that lamellar MRCs could be also functional during seawater acclimation.
