16.P15. Branchial osmoregulatory response to salinity challenge in the Lusitanian toadfish
| Resumo: | Halobatrachus didactylus, a marine teleost found in coastal lagoons and river estuaries is often exposed to important salinity changes. Despite its aglomerular kidney, it is able to survive in hypo-osmotic environments, likely via compensatory actions from gills and intestine. We aimed at evaluating the response of the branchial tissue of H. didactylus to salinity changes. |
