## Abstract A large array of circulating and local signaling agents modulate transport of ions across the gill epithelium of fishes by either affecting transport directly or by altering the size and distribution of transporting cells in the epithelium. In some cases, these transport effects are in

Abstract
The results show that rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) are able to concentrate NO ions in the blood plasma. After 24 hr in water containing 0.7 mM/l NO, the blood plasma contained about 5mM/l NO suggesting that the gills have the ability to transport NO~2~ against a concentration gradient.

## Abstract Preparations of posterior gills isolated from postmoult shore crabs (__Carcinus mediterraneus__) that had been acclimated to dilute seawater were used for calciumβtransport studies. Gills were perfused and bathed with saline of identical composition, with ^45^Ca^2+^ ions added exclusive
