Fig. 1. (A) Gill Na+, K+-ATPase activity in anadromous (closed circles) and landlocked (open circles) Atlantic salmon in FW and SW from February 26 through June 18; (B) plasma [Cl-] in SW from March 9 through June 22. Symbols for anadromous (closed triangles) and landlocked salmon (open triangles) after 96 h SW (34%thou) exposure, and anadromous (closed diamonds) and landlocked salmon (open diamonds) in mid-June after 1 month in SW are offset for clarity. Values are means ± s.e.m. (N=8-10). *Significant difference between strains in FW (P<0.05). Different capital and small letters denote differences (P<0.05) between time points within anadromous and landlocked salmon, respectively. {dagger}Significant differences between FW and SW in landlocked salmon.

Fig. 2. Gill Na+, K+-ATPase {alpha}1a (A) and {alpha}1b (B) mRNA levels in anadromous (closed circles) and landlocked (open circles) Atlantic salmon in FW from February 26 through June 18. Symbols for anadromous (closed triangle) and landlocked salmon (open triangle) after 96 h SW (34%thou) exposure, and anadromous (closed diamond) and landlocked salmon (open diamond) in mid-June after 1 month in SW are offset for clarity. Values are means ± s.e.m. (N=8-10). *Significant difference between strains in FW (P<0.05). Different capital and small letters denote differences (P<0.05) between time points within anadromous and landlocked salmon, respectively. Significant differences between FW and SW are indicated by {dagger}(landlocked) {ddagger}(anadromous) salmon.

Fig. 4. Gill Na+, K+-ATPase {alpha}-protein abundance in anadromous (closed circles) and landlocked (open circles) Atlantic salmon in FW from February 26 through June 18. Symbols for anadromous (closed diamond) and landlocked salmon (open diamond) in mid-June after 1 month in SW are offset for clarity. Values are means ± s.e.m. (N=5-6). Different capital and small letters denote differences (P<0.05) between time points within anadromous and landlocked salmon, respectively. Significant differences between FW and SW are indicated by {dagger} (landlocked) and {ddagger} (anadromous) salmon.

Gill cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator I (CFTR I) mRNA levels in anadromous (closed circles) and landlocked (open circles) Atlantic salmon in FW from February 26 through June 18. CFTR I was not measured following SW transfer. Values are means ± s.e.m. (N=8-10). *Significant difference between strains in FW (P<0.05). Different capital and small letters denote differences (P<0.05) between time points within anadromous and landlocked salmon, respectively.
