Abstract

1. A highly significant linear correlation was found between glomerular filtration rate and urine flow rate in both freshwater and seawater trout. The percentage tubular reabsorption of water was approximately 33% greater in seawater trout than in freshwater trout. 2. As oxygen consumption increased, the urine flow rate increased in freshwater and seawater rainbow trout. The proportional increase in urine flow with incremental changes in oxygen consumption was approximately the same in fresh water and sea water. 3. A significant positive linear relationship between oxygen consumption and glomerular filtration rate was found in both salinities. The proportional increase in GFR with incremental changes in the oxygen consumption rate was higher in the seawater trout than in the freshwater trout. 4. As oxygen consumption increased, the percentage tubular reabsorption of water decreased in the freshwater trout. No significant relationship between these two factors was found in the seawater trout.
