Fig. 2. Daily excretion rates (µmol day-1 g-1) of ammonia
(A) and urea (B) in Himantura signifer during 10 days of exposure to
1
water (control; open bars), or 10 days of exposure to a progressive
increase in salinity from 1
to 15
(filled bars): 1
(days 1, 2) to 5
(days 3, 4) to 10
(days 5, 6) to 13
(days 7, 8) to 15
(days 9, 10). Values are means ± s.e.m.
(N=5 for control group; N=5 for experimental group).
*Significantly different from corresponding control value;
