M.Sc. (Zoology) / This study was undertaken to determine the osmotic regulation of Labeo capensis and to investigate the effectiveness of the addition of salt to water in which the fish are transported. The blood of L. capensis in tap water has a lower pH value than that of the same species acclimatized to salt water. It seems that the pH of fish transported in salt water is not altered immediately as in the case of fish transported in fresh water. In both groups the lowest pH values were reached two days after the fish had been transported ...
