## Abstract In freshwater fishes, the gill and kidney are intricately involved in ionic and acidโbase regulation owing to the presence of numerous ion channels, pumps, or exchangers. This review summarizes recent developments in branchial and renal ion transport physiology and presents several mode

Abstract
Intraโarterial injection of a fixed acid load caused only a shortโlived (< 2h) disturbance of blood pH but a long lived (2โ3 days) elevation of urinary acid excretion in freshwater trout (Salmo gairdneri). The renal response comprised an immediate increase in acid output in the form of titratable acidity minus bicarbonate, and a slower rise in acid output in the form of ammonia. The total elevation in urinary acid efflux over 72h was such that no other mechanism besides renal function is needed to explain the ultimate compensation of this experimental acidโbase disturbance.
