INTRODUCTIONFish physiology is the scientific study of how thecomponent parts of fish function together in the livingfish. It can be contrasted with fish anatomy, which isthe study of the form or morphology of fishes. Inpractice, fish anatomy and physiology complement eachother, the former dealing with the structure of a fish, itsorgans or component parts and how they are puttogether, such as might be observed on the dissectingtable or under the microscope, and the later dealing withhow those components function together in the livingfish.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fish_physiology

Osmoregulation in Fish: Definitions
Homeostasis = maintaining steady state equilibrium in the internal environment of an organisms
Solute homeostasis = maintaining equilibrium with respect to solute (ionic and neutral solutes) concentrations
Water homeostasis = maintaining equilibrium with respect to the amount of water retained in the body fluids and tissues

Osmotic concentration
Total concentration of all solutes in an aqueous solution
measured in units of osmolal
osmolals = 1 mole of solute/liter of water milliosmolals = 1/1000th of one osmolal

Osmoregulation in different environments
Challenge to homeostasis depends on
steady state concentration of solutes in the body fluids and tissues as well as
concentration of solutes in the external environment
marine systems: environment concentration = 34 - 36 parts per thousand salinity = 1000 mosm/l
freshwater systems: environment concentration < 3 ppt salinity = 1 - 10 mosm/l
Estuaries: vary with tides and precipitation

Osmoregulation in different environments
Each species has a range of environmental osmotic conditions in which it can function:
stenohaline - tolerate a narrow range of salinities in external environment - either marine or freshwater ranges
euryhaline - tolerate a wide range of salinities in external environment - fresh to saline
short term changes: estuarine - 10 - 32 ppt intertidal - 25 - 40
long term changes: diadromous fishes
![Page 13: INTRODUCTION - cab.uobasrah.edu.iqcab.uobasrah.edu.iq/images/lectures/fisheries/osmoregulationsion 12.pdf · INTRODUCTION Fish physiology is the scientific study of how the component](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062602/5e88d5edef4ff170c42a2e25/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Anadromous vs catadromous fish Diadromous fishes - spend part of life in salt
water, part in freshwater
An anadromous fish, born in fresh water, spends most of its life in the sea and returns to fresh water to spawn (Greek: ἀνά ana, "up" and δρόμος dromos, "course") . Salmon, smelt, shad, striped bass, and sturgeon are common examples.
A catadromous fish does the opposite - lives in fresh water and enters salt water to spawn (Greek: κατά kata, "down" and δρόμος dromos, "course") . Most of the eels are catadromous.

What about rapid ion flux?Euryhaline
Short-term fluctuations in osmotic state of environment, e.g. in intertidal zone or in estuaries
salinity can range from 10 to 34 ppt with daily tides
these fish have both kinds of chloride cells
when salinity is low, operate more like FW fishes
when salinity is high, operate like marine fishes
kidneys function only under low salinity conditions

Euryhalinity & Adaptation Euryhaline organisms are able to adapt to a wide
range of salinities. An example of a euryhaline fish is the molly (Poecilia sphenops) which can live in fresh, brackish, or salt water. The European shore crab (Carcinus maenas) is an example of a euryhaline invertebrate that can live in salt and brackish water. Euryhaline organisms are commonly found in habitats such as estuaries and tide pools where the salinity changes regularly. However, some organisms are euryhaline because their life cycle involves migration between freshwater and marine environments, as is the case with salmon and eels.

How to reduce stress in stressed fish?
Minimize the osmotic challenge by placing fish in conditions that are isosmotic
add salt to freshwater, e.g. in transporting fish or when exposing them to some other short-term challenge
dilute saltwater for same situation with marine species

Challenging Osmotic Stress
Stressors (handling, sustained exercise such as escape from predator pursuit) cause release of adrenaline (epinephrine)
Adrenaline causes diffusivity of gill epithelium to increase (become “leaky” of water & ions)
This accentuates the normal osmoregulatory challenge for FW or marine fishes

Osmoregulation Strategies
Osmoconforming (no strategy) Hagfish internal salt concentration = seawater. However, since they live IN the ocean....no regulation required!
![Page 27: INTRODUCTION - cab.uobasrah.edu.iqcab.uobasrah.edu.iq/images/lectures/fisheries/osmoregulationsion 12.pdf · INTRODUCTION Fish physiology is the scientific study of how the component](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062602/5e88d5edef4ff170c42a2e25/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Osmoregulation StrategiesElasmobranchs (sharks, skates, rays, chimeras)
Maintain internal salt concentration ~ 1/3seawater, make up the rest of internal salts byretaining high concentrations of urea &trimethylamine oxide (TMAO).
Bottom line…total internal osmotic concentrationequal to seawater!
How is urea retained? Gill membrane has low permeability to urea so
it is retained within the fish. Because internalinorganic and organic salt concentrationsmimic that of their environment, passive waterinflux or efflux is minimized.

CHLORIDE CELLS Chloride cells are
cells in the gills of teleost fishes which pump excessive sodium and chloride ions out into the sea against a concentration gradient (Active transport). Energy cost ?

Mechanism of actionTeleost fishes consume large quantities ofseawater to reduce osmotic dehydration. Theexcess of ions absorbed from seawater ispumped out of the teleost fishes via thechloride cells. These cells use active transporton the basolateral (internal) surface toaccumulate chloride, which then diffuses out ofthe apical (external) surface and into thesurrounding environment. Such mitochondria-rich cells (?) are found in both the gill lamellaeand filaments of teleost fish.
