  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. Longjawed mudsuckers, &lt;i&gt;Gillichthys mirabilis&lt;/i&gt;, in 30ppt seawater (SW) were transferred to 1.5, 30 and 60ppt SW.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2. In the first 1–3 days after transfer, plasma chloride level and plasma osmolarity rose in the 60ppt SW fish, and decreased in the 1.5ppt SW fish.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3. By day 21, however, plasma chloride and osmolarity were at or near the levels seen in the controls (30ppt).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;4. Branchial and jawskin Na&lt;sup&gt;+&lt;/sup&gt;, K&lt;sup&gt;+&lt;/sup&gt;-ATPase activities were high in all salinities, and did not differ significantly among treatments.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;5. The vital fluorescent stains DASPEI and anthroylouabain were used to detect mitochondria and Na&lt;sup&gt;+&lt;/sup&gt;, K&lt;sup&gt;+&lt;/sup&gt;-ATPase, respectively, in chloride cells.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;6. Both stains indicated that jawskin chloride cell density did not differ among treatment groups.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;7. In contrast, chloride cell size increased significantly with increasing salinity.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;8. The chloride cells of fish in 60 ppt SW were noticeably angular in outline, whereas those of both the 1.5 and 30ppt SW fish were circular.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;9. The results are discussed in relation to the ion transport requirements encountered in the intertidal habitat of the mudsucker.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
