Fig. 1. Basal drinking rates (ml h-1 kg-1) of two species of
elasmobranch fish acclimated to 80% sea water (SW) and maximal responses
during acclimation to 100% SW. The filled columns represent drinking rates for
Scyliorhinus canicula and the open columns represent drinking rates
for Triakis scyllia. Results are expressed as means + S.E.M.
(N
6 for each group). Column B was significantly greater than
column A; and columns E and F were significantly greater than column D
(*P<0.05, **P<0.01) (Student's
t-test).
