Article Description

1.1. The rate of mucosal to serosal water movement was measured in vitro in non-everted midgut segments in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) during parr-smolt transformation (February–July) and following transfer of smolts to seawater in May.2.2. The rate increased significantly during smolting from 5.61 μl/cm2/hr in the parr (February) to 11.03 μl/cm2/hr in smolts in May.3.3. Measured at intervals over a period of 20 days in seawater, the rate of water transport was not significantly different from that found in the freshwater-adapted smolts (11.20 μl/cm2/hr).4.4. Intestinal water transport is sodium-linked and inhibited by ouabain but is not stimulated by cortisol.
