Figure 1


Fig. 1. Transfer of mosquito larvae from freshwater (FW) to 30%SW (seawater) leads to significant increases in Na+, Cl– and H+ concentrations in the hemolymph within 5 h of transfer. Groups of mosquito larvae were transferred from FW to 30%SW at time=0, where they were held for varying periods of time prior to the collection of hemolymph. Ion-selective microelectrodes were used to measure the Na+ (A), Cl– (B), K+ (C) and H+ (D) ion concentrations of the hemolymph. Values are means ± s.e.m., N=16 for time=0 and N=10 for all other groups. An asterisk denotes a significant difference from value at time=0.
