Branchial chloride cells in larvae and juveniles of freshwater tilapia Oreochromis mossambicus

Branchial chloride cells in the developing larvae and juveniles of freshwater tilapia, Oreochromis mossambicus, were identified and the membrane Na+/K+-ATPase was localized in situ through binding of the fluorescent dye anthroylouabain. After co-labelling of the cells with the fluorescent probes DASPMI and Con-A-FITC, the mitochondria and apical crypt in the same chloride cells were visualized ...

Chloride transport in mitochondrion-rich cells of euryhaline tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus) larvae.

A noninvasive scanning ion-selective electrode technique (SIET) was applied to measure Cl- transport at individual mitochondrion-rich cells (MRCs) in the skin of euryhaline tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus) larvae. In seawater (SW)-acclimated larvae, outward Cl- gradients (20-80 mM higher than the background) were measured at the surface, indicating a secretion of Cl- from the skin. By serial p...

Acute and chronic effects of antimony chloride (SbCl3) on tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus) larvae.

The semiconductor industry has the highest revenue and developmental potential in Taiwan. Pollution caused by this industry is not yet understood. Nevertheless, related health and environmental risks, however, from this type of economic activity certainly need to be considered in any study about environmental protection (Edelman 1990). Previous research has often used human cells (Kuroda et al....

Euryhaline tilapia Oreochromis mossambicus

regulated by, and suited to, the environment in which they reproduce. In many teleosts, which spawn in either freshwater or seawater, sperm motility is initiated by osmotic shock when sperm are ejaculated. These osmolality dependent regulatory systems are quite different in freshwater cyprinid teleosts, such as carp, gold fish and zebrafish, and marine teleosts, such as the pufferfish and floun...
