Mechanisms of Na+ Homeostasis by Zebrafish (Danio Rerio) in Acidic Water
Zebrafish, Danio rerio, are able to survive exposure to extreme acidity (pH 4). Because previous studies demonstrated that disruption of ionic balance during exposure to acidic water is the major cause of mortality in acid-sensitive freshwater species, the focus of this thesis was to characterize t...
