| Research Abstract |
The present study was undertaken to clarify the osmoregulatory mechanisms during early life stages in fish and to investigate the possible involvement of chloride cells in the yolk-sac membrane in osmoregulation, using euryhaline tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus) and chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta). The followings are the results obtained for the last two years :
1.Eyed-stage embryos of chum salmon possess hypoosmoregulatory ability and chloride cells in the yolk-sac membrane may be involved in salt extrusion, in place of gill chloride cells, during the late embryonic stages.
2.Similarly, in tilapia embryos, chloride cells in the yolk-sac membrane are potentially important sites for ion exchange in seawater.
3.In tilapia, cortisol treatment stimulates the size and number of chloride cells in the yolk-sac membrane of embryos and larvae in vivo and in vitro, suggesting that cortisol present in the yolk may be involved in osmoregulation during early life stages.
