Ionoregulatory Aspects of the Osmorespiratory Compromise during Acute Environmental Hypoxia in 12 Tropical and Temperate Teleosts

Abstract: In the traditional osmorespiratory compromise, as seen in the hypoxia-intolerant freshwater rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), the branchial modifications that occur to improve O2 uptake during hypoxia result in unfavorable increases in the fluxes of ions and water. However, at least one hypoxia-tolerant freshwater species, the Amazonian oscar (Astronotus ocellatus), shows exactly the opposite: decreased branchial flux rates of ions, water, and nitrogenous wastes during acute hypoxia. In order to find out wh… Show more

“…3): ions are lost as effective branchial permeability is increased in an attempt to acquire more O 2 from the environment (e.g. Randall et al 1972;Iftikar et al 2010;Robertson et al 2015). Jeju were able to avoid this effect (Fig.…”

“…Nevertheless, oscars did exhibit increased unidirectional effluxes of Na + and net losses of K + during exercise (Fig. 3), in contrast to the decreases in these parameters seen during acute hypoxia (Wood et al 2007(Wood et al , 2009De Boeck et al 2013;Robertson et al 2015). During hypoxia, these flux reductions were attributed to decreased transcellular permeability associated with a rapid morphological response, a reduction in exposed MRC numbers and mean apical crypt surface areas due to a paving over by PVCs (Wood et al 2009;Matey et al 2011;De Boeck et al 2013).…”

“…5) may be an important factor explaining the low gill paracellular permeability. The ILCM may well be adaptive in reducing ionoregulatory and osmoregulatory costs in this species which lives in an ion-poor environment and which has relatively low metabolic rate (Sloman et al 2006), high blood O 2 affinity (Robertson et al 2015), and high hypoxia tolerance (Almeida- Val and Hochachka 1995;Muusze et al 1998;Almeida-Val et al 2000). In future studies, it will be of interest to see if the ILCM in the oscar decreases in volume, thereby allowing greater protrusion of the lamellae and increasing the surface area for gas exchange during prolonged hypoxia exposure or exercise, or at very high temperature, or if it proliferates at colder temperatures leaving shorter lamellae and decreasing the surface area of the gills.…”
