Endocrinological Studies on the Euryhaline Killifish, Fundulus Heteroclitus (Linn.) **
The common killifish of the eastern United States, Fundulus heteroclitus (Linn.), is widely employed as an experimental animal by zoologists, em-bryologists, and comparative physiologists. The late Dr. Myron Gordon8' points out that it is a hardy species of convenient size, readily caught in tidal pools but not usually bred in aquaria for purposes of raising the stock. Dr. Gordon warns against ...
متن کاملRegulation of pyruvate dehydrogenase in the common killifish, Fundulus heteroclitus, during hypoxia exposure.
We examined the metabolic responses of the hypoxia-tolerant killifish (Fundulus heteroclitus) to 15 h of severe hypoxia and recovery with emphasis on muscle substrate usage and the regulation of the mitochondrial protein pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH), which controls carbohydrate oxidation. Hypoxia survival involved a transient activation of substrate-level phosphorylation in muscle (decreases in...
متن کاملEffects of salinity on copper accumulation in the common killifish (Fundulus heteroclitus).
Results of laboratory and field studies have demonstrated that salinity influences the accumulation of copper. The present study is, to our knowledge, the first to examine the effect of salinity on copper accumulation in a teleost fish across a comprehensive range of salinity from freshwater to seawater. This was done in an effort to identify potential target tissues and differences in chemical...
متن کاملIntraspecific variation in thermal tolerance and heat shock protein gene expression in common killifish, Fundulus heteroclitus.
Populations of common killifish, Fundulus heteroclitus, are distributed along the Atlantic coast of North America through a steep latitudinal thermal gradient. We examined intraspecific variation in whole-animal thermal tolerance and its relationship to the heat shock response in killifish from the northern and southern extremes of the species range. Critical thermal maxima were significantly h...

INTRODUCTION The euryhaline killifish Fundulus heteroclitus lives in estuaries and salt marshes on the eastern coast of North America. Killifish must dynamically regulate their ion balance because of routine fluctuations in salinity in their natural environment. This species can tolerate changes in salinity from freshwater to nearly four times seawater (Griffith, 1974), and have therefore been ...
