## Abstract The mechanism(s) of absorption of chloride ions (Cl‐absorption), as measured by the short‐circuit current (I~sc~, μA·cm^−2^), was investigated in the intestinal middle part of the seawater‐(SW) and the freshwater‐(FW) adapted eel. Tissues, mounted in an Ussing chamber and continuously p
