## Abstract Teleost fish experience passive osmotic water influx in fresh water (FW) and water outflux in salt water, which is normally compensated by water flow driven by active ion transport mechanisms. Euryhaline fish may also minimize osmotic energy demand by βbehavioral osmoregulationβ, seekin
We examined whether ionoregulatory mechanisms of fresh water Fundulus heteroclitus in vivo are similar to those of typical freshwater species (e.g., rainbow trout, goldfish, and catfish). Under control conditions ([NaCl] ext ~1 mmol/l), the mummichog exhibits very large Na + influx and efflux rates
