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. Significant differences between FW
and SW in landlocked salmon.

Fig. 6. 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.
