Abstract

The first part of the paper is devoted to the methods used for studying transfer of ions between intact aquatic animals and their environments. The use of flux-force relationships is described, and some alternative criteria for delimiting active transport are examined. The second part discusses recent research on hyper- and hypotonic regulators.
