## Abstract Electrical parameters were simultaneously measured with unidirectional fluxes of Cl^β^ and Na^+^ through isolated shortβcircuited skin of a marine teleost, the shanny (__Blennius pholis__ L.). The mean transepithelial potential TEP developed across the skin was 10.6 Β± 0.4 mV (n = 6) in

β¦ Synopsis
The isolated open-circuited shanny skin exhibited a net chloride efflux of 2.91 pmol h-l. The transepithelial potential was 12 mV (inside + ve). Short circuit current was 60 pA cm2 and transepithelial resistance was 225 61 cm2. When either ouabain or furosemide was added to the inside, or amiloride or 4-acetamido-4'-isothiocyanatostibene-2,2'disulphonic acid (SITS) was added to the outside, the transepithelial potential and short-circuit current were reduced. The results are discussed and a model is presented that describes the possible mechanism for chloride transport across shanny skin.
