dc.description.abstract | African catfish, Clarias mossambicus showed no ill effects when kept in acid water pH 4–5 for 3–4 days. Their ionic regulatory response was examined and during 24 h exposure to water of pH 4, Na+ efflux increased significantly but was not matched by an increase in Na+ influx resulting in a substantial net loss of body Na+, which was reduced from 65.4 mmol kg–1 to 35.6 mmol kg–1, with smaller losses of Cl– and K+. | en |
