Ca2+-activated adenosinetriphosphatase activity in the gills of freshwater-and seawater-adapted eels (Anguilla rostrata).
1. Ca2+ -activated ATPase activity was higher in the gills of freshwater acclimated eels than in the gills of seawater acclimated eels. 2. The properties of the enzyme and the amount of protein extracted were identical in freshwater and seawater acclimated eels.
