Fish physiology. Volume 14, Cellular and molecular approaches to fish ionic regulation /

Many physiological processes are regulated by the movement of ions into and out of organs, tissues, and cells. During the past decade, a variety of new techniques and approaches have contributed to a deeper understanding of the myriad influences ions have on the function and structure of organisms....
