The mechanism of sodium chloride uptake in hyperregulating aquatic animals.
The emphasis in this review will be on Na(+) absorption across the skin and gills of vertebrates and the gills of crustaceans. However, some recent studies of Cl(-) uptake, especially in crustaceans, will also be described.
