Fig. 7. Regression of the total epithelial conductance of the opercular epithelium on the density of apical crypts as detected by scanning electron microscopy for freshwater-acclimated animals (N=11). Epithelia have been exposed to basolateral hypertonicity. Extrapolation to the y-intercept gives an estimate of the conductance of an epithelium lacking apical crypt openings.
