摘要
The aim was to study osmotic and ionic regulation in alien ctenophore, Mnemiopsis leidyi (total length of 1.5-3 cm), acclimated gradually to artificial sea water of different salinities (8, 13, 18 and 23 ppt) in laboratory conditions (24 +/- 2 degrees C) with the salt composition and proportion of the Caspian Sea. Results showed that this species is hyper-osmoconformer (maintaining internal osmolarity 2-22 mOsmol l(-1) above external) in non-lethal salinities ranging from 8 to 23 ppt. The results of ionic regulatory investigations revealed that this species can regulate Ca2+ and SO42- so that the concentration of Ca2+ in the internal fluid and SO42- in the external fluid were significantly more in 8 and 13 ppt, respectively. No regulation was observed about other ions such as Cl-, Mg2+ and K+ in the mentioned salinities. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
