Different biochemical strategies of two Neotropical fish to cope with the impairment of nitrogen excretion during air exposure
The exposure of fish to air is normally expected to interfere with the nitrogen excretion process. Hoplias malabaricus and Hoplerythrinus unitaeniatus, two teleost species, display distinct behaviors in response to decreases in natural reservoir water levels, although they may employ similar biochem...
