ABSTRACT
The effect of temperature on osmoregulation of teleosts has been investigated in several laboratories. In fresh water acclimatization to low temperature is accompanied by a decline in plasma levels of sodium and chloride, while in sea water, on the contrary, low temperature causes an increase in the concentrations of the major electrolytes (Umminger, 1969, 1970; see review by Pickford, Grant & Umminger, 1969).
