Metabolic substrates are not mobilized from the osmoregulatory organs (gills and kidney) of the estuarine pufferfishes Sphoeroides greeleyi and S. testudineus upon short-term salinity reduction

Abstract: Metabolic substrates are not mobilized from the osmoregulatory organs(gills and kidney) of the estuarine pufferfishes Sphoeroides greeleyi and S. testudineus upon short-term salinity reductionViviane Prodocimo, Carine F. Souza, Cristina Pessini, Luiz Claudio Fernandes and Carolina A. FreireThe marine-estuarine species of pufferfishes Sphoeroides testudineus and S. greeleyi are very efficient osmoregulators. However, they differ with respect to their tolerance of salinity reduction. During low tide S. testudine… Show more

“…As the current study results show that humidity is decreased in fish bodies when salinity concentrations were high, which is the result of osmotic effect that fish faced on high salinity level. Cyprinus Carpio cannot handle salty concentrations that is the reason behind the confusion that fish faced in organizing their body water as a result of increasing ionic load and losing water by osmotic effects outside the body the thing that could affect humidity inside body tissues (Prodocimo, et al, 2008). As for other body components (ashes, fat and protein) study results showed that the percentage of fat is decreased even though it was used as an energy resource all of that could be as an effect of provender food value because part of its components metabolized and other part settle in body tissues.…”

“…However, the distribution of a given species seems to depend on the degree of its physiological tolerance. Prodocimo & Freire (2001, 2004 and Prodocimo et al (2008), studying the osmoregulatory ability of S. greeleyi and S. testudineus, reported that the species are eurihaline and exhibit similar ability for plasma osmolality and salt water ionic regulation.…”

“…They have broad physiological tolerance (Prodocimo & Freire, 2001, 2004Prodocimo et al, 2008) and use the same food resources (Chiaverini, 2008). However, they exhibit differences regarding the body size of individuals.…”

“…Regulation is achieved through a range of ionic and osmoregulatory processes that demand energy (Nordlie, 2009;Lisboa et al, 2015). In this context, alterations in hematocrit values usually reflect changes in blood water content and/or metabolic rate (Iwama, McGeer, & Pawluk, 1989;Prodocimo, Souza, Pessini, Fernandes, & Freire, 2008).…”
