Fish lives in environments with a wide variety of chemical characteristics (fresh, brackish and seawater, acidic, alkaline, soft and hard waters). From an osmoregulatory point of view, fish have developed several mechanisms to live in these different environments. Fish osmoregulation has always attracted considerable attention and in the last years several studies have increased our knowledge of this physiological process. In this book several specialists have analyzed and reviewed the new data published regarding fish osmoregulation. The chapters present an integrative synthesis of the different aspects of this field focusing on osmoregulation in specific environments or situations, function of osmoregulatory organs, general mechanisms and endocrine control. In addition, interactions of osmoregulatory mechanisms with the immune system, diet and metabolism were also reviewed. New emerging techniques to study osmoregulation has also been analysed.

Osmoregulation and endocrine control of osmoregulation were studied in the euryhaline stingray, Dasyatis sabina. In hypersaline sea water (above 35ppt), the ability to regulate plasma solutes was reduced relative to regulation in the optimum, hyposaline (12-28ppt) range. Survival in high salinities was dependent on slow acclimation, while rapid change to low salinities was tolerated. These results appear consistent with adaptations necessary for salinity changes occurring in a bay environment. Natural, uninduced rectal gland secretion was obtained in D. sabina. The average chloride concentration of the rectal gland fluid was 583.3 m-moles/1. The average flow rate was 0.13 ml/kg/hr. Occurrence and amount of rectal gland secretion were erratic. Thyroidectomy, in sea water of 23ppt salinity, caused a significant rise in plasma urea concentrations in D. sabina. Replacement injections of thyroxine lowered plasma urea levels in thyroidectomized animals. Removal of the rostal pars distalis caused plasma urea to increase. Replacement injections of prolactin lowered plasma urea levels, as did replacement ACTH injections. Replacement of both prolactin and ACTH caused variable results concerning urea. Problems of dosage, stress, and possible seasonal influences, most likely affected the results of the endocrine study
