- Abstract:
- To date there is a distinct lack of information regarding the control of osmoregulation in euryhaline elasmobranchs. In collaboration with Dr Franklin at the Univ. of Queensland Australia the proposed study will investigate the hormonal control of the functional, cellular and molecular mechanisms in acclimation of the euryhaline bullshark, C. leucas from a freshwater to seawater. Specifically the project will investigate the control of independent salt and urea regulation in a variety of key osmoregulatory tissues including the gills, gut, kidney and rectal gland by hormones such as AII, AVT, CNP and 1 alpha-OH-B. A series of molecular tools will be used to investigate the expression and tissue distribution of Na, K-ATPase alpha and beta subunits.
