Fig. 7. Relative branchial NKCC abundance in D. labrax in seawater (SW; day 0) and following short-term (1 and 4 days; S) and medium-term (7, 14 and 22 days; M) freshwater (FW) acclimation. The line joins the means (open circles) of the individual measurements (black diamonds). Statistical tests were used to compare SW-acclimated sea bass (N=3) to short-term (N=4)- and medium-term (N=5)-acclimated sea bass to FW. Different letters indicate significant differences (P<0.005).
