A relationship was found to exist between the oxygen consumption of the gills and the osmotic pressure of the blood, in Tilapia aurea (Steindachner) which had undergone prior adaptation to various salinities. At a dilution of 40% sea water and in undiluted sea water, when the osmotic concentration in the blood is low, the oxygen consumption is also low. At a dilution of 60% sea water, the osmotic concentration in the blood is high, and so is the oxygen consumption of the gills. At a dilution of 80% sea water, the osmotic pressure in the blood is again low, but the oxygen consumption in the gills remains high. Hence it was concluded that the stimulation of a salinity threshold, above a dilution of 60% sea water, is required for the efficient operation of the regulatory osmotic salt water mechanism.
