Body Fluid Regulation

Parr–smolt metamorphosis in yearling Atlantic salmon was accompanied by variations in plasma and tissue electrolyte levels, and in tissue water distribution. Plasma chloride declined sharply with the onset of smoltification, but recovered to values somewhat higher than those seen in parr with the attainment of the silvery parr stage. Some decrease, with no evidence of a secondary increase, was observed in tissue chloride concentrations. Changes in chloride space values suggested that parr–smolt metamorphosis is also characterized by a shift of tissue fluids from the extracellular to the cellular phase. These variations in water–electrolyte balance are thought to reflect a premigratory activation and secondary suppression of the extrarenal salt excretion systems employed for osmotic and ionic regulation in sea water. Their occurrence in fish estimated upon the basis of morphological characters to be large parr suggests that the metamorphic process may occur earlier in the life cycle of this species than is generally recognized.

Plasma Chloride

Goldfish acclimated to 20 and 30 C exhibited no significant differences in plasma sodium level, tissue chloride, potassium and water content, and chloride space. Plasma chloride varied inversely and plasma potassium directly with temperature. Tissue sodium levels tended to be slightly lower at the higher acclimation temperature. The shock response following abrupt transfer from 20 to 30 C was characterized by a complex sequence of changes in water–electrolyte balance. Following a lag period plasma chloride rose sharply, peaking some 48 hr after transfer, and subsequently declining. Plasma sodium varied in substantially similar fashion. Changes in plasma sodium/chloride ratio suggested the possible occurrence of a transient condition of alkalosis following thermal shock. Plasma potassium levels increased rapidly, and appeared to stabilize within 24 hr. By contrast, little variation in tissue levels of sodium, potassium, and chloride was observed. Tissue water content, on the other hand, tended to increase steadily for several days after transfer. Changes in chloride space suggested that an increase in extracellular phase volume, in part at the expense of the cellular fluids, accompanied thermal shock. It is concluded that while thermal shock induces marked initial deviations in iono- and osmoregulatory ability the goldfish can, during the acclimatory process, carry out compensatory changes in regulatory activities which permit restoration of virtually the original ionic status. Possible mechanisms underlying the shock and acclimatory responses are discussed, and the bearing of studies of this general type upon the estimation of thermal acclimation rates is considered.

Abstract: Water distribution in each compartment of the body involves concentration of solutes in body fluids, and the amount of dissolved substance in a solvent called osmolality. Electrolyte that has the biggest contributor in determining the serum osmolality is sodium, which is osmotically active. Hipoosmolality actually describes the state of hyponatremia, and hyperosmolality describes the state of hypernatremia. Examination of plasma and urine osmolality is very helpful in the management of patients with water and electrolyte imbalance, in addition to assess the antidiuretic hormone (ADH) abnormalities. Urine osmolality is important in evaluating the ability of the kidney to concentrate the urine, in addition to monitor the fluid and electrolyte balance. There are two ways of osmolality examination: 1) indirectly, by using osmometer (osmolality measurement) with a freezing point depression method; 2) directly, by using a formula (osmolality count).Keywords: water, sodium, osmolality, freezing point depression, osmolality countAbstrak: Distribusi air pada setiap kompartemen tubuh melibatkan kadar zat terlarut di dalam cairan tubuh, dan jumlah zat terlarut dalam suatu pelarut yang disebut osmolalitas. Elektrolit pemberi kontribusi terbesar dalam menentukan besarnya osmolalitas serum ialah natrium, yang aktif secara osmotik. Keadaan hipoosmolalitas sebenarnya menggambarkan keadaan hiponatremia, sebaliknya hiperosmolalitas menggambarkan keadaan hipernatremia. Pemeriksaan osmolalitas plasma dan urin sangat membantu penatalaksanaan pasien dengan gangguan keseimbangan air dan elektrolit, selain menilai kelainan antidiuretic hormone (ADH). Osmolalitas urin penting untuk mengetahui kemampuan ginjal memekatkan urin, selain memonitor keseimbangan cairan dan elektrolit. Terdapat dua cara pemeriksaan osmolalitas yaitu: 1) secara tidak langsung menggunakan osmometer (osmolalitas ukur) dengan metode freezing point depression; 2) secara langsung dengan menggunakan rumus (osmolalitas hitung).Kata kunci: air, natrium, osmolalitas, freezing point depression, osmolalitas hitung

Pagurus Bernhardus

Specimens of Pagurus bernhardus (with and without shells) were exposed to both gradual (sinusoidal) and abrupt (square-wave) salinity fluctuations and changes in haemolymph osmolality, tissue water content and oxygen consumption monitored. Oxygen consumption was also monitored under steady-state conditions; under these conditions there was no significant difference between the rate of oxygen consumption by animals with shells and animals without shells. Oxygen consumption was found to vary with body weight according to the equation O2 consumption = 0·292 W0·668. During exposure to fluctuating salinities the crabs with shells were seen to increase loco-motory activity when the external medium declined to approximately 75% sea water. Haemolymph osmolality values followed the same pattern of change as the external medium; the haemolymph of crabs without shells became significantly more dilute during exposure to low salinity than did that of crabs with shells. P. bernhardus showed significant increases and decreases in hydration level as salinities fell and rose respectively. Crabs with shells showed a marked temporary increase in oxygen consumption when the external medium declined to approximately 75% sea water; crabs without shells showed no such response. The importance of the shell as a means of protection against dilute media is discussed.
