... lysed in the presence of a β-NHE agonist, a response more robust than the typical swelling response observed in other teleosts ( Nikinmaa, 1982 ; Fuchs and Albers, 1988 ; Caldwell et al., 2006 ). As the purpose was simply to validate that red drum did in fact possess a β-NHE response, both swelling...

...D. J. Randall; J. L. Rummer; J. M. Wilson; S. Wang; C. J. Brauner Teleost fishes constitute 95% of extant aquatic vertebrates, and we suggest that this is related in part to their unique mode of tissue oxygenation. We propose the following sequence of events in the evolution of their oxygen...

The consequent minimization of locomotion, which consumes most...
