... are capable of taking up sodium immediately on transfer to FW. Chloride uptake via the gills of FW fish is of equal importance to sodium uptake, and the two ions are thought to be transported independently ( Maetz and Garcia-Romeu, 1964 ). This paper examines the changes in chloride transport that occur...
