Kelp gulls (mean body weight of 905.3 k 46.5 g, plasma osmolality of 316.5 k 1.5 mOsm.kg', plasma Na+ of 151.3 rt 0.8 mEq.literl, and plasma K' of 3.1 2 0.2 mEq.liter-l (means 2 SE) were adapted to fresh water and had basal plasma concentrations of arginine vasotocin (AVT) and angiotensin I1 (AII) o
