Estuarine fish face complex stressors, including highly variable salinity and oxygen availability 🫧
In a new paper, “The impact of isosmotic conditions on the metabolism and hypoxia tolerance of a reportedly oxyconforming teleost,” we ask how common galaxias cope with these challenges 🐟

The impact of isosmotic conditions on the metabolism and hypoxia tolerance of a reportedly oxyconforming teleost
Fish must manage the competing demands of ion balance and gas exchange across the gills – a physiological tension known as the osmorespiratory compromise. In dynamic estuarine environments, the osmor...
