Abstract
The idea was tested that killifish gill cell surface membrane water channel proteins (aquaporin 3) might be responsible for water flows into and out of the gills, that increase with temperature. There are several factors that determine the level of gill water flow: these include the measurement temperature used and the temperature to which fish are acclimatized. Changes in aquaporin 3 may account for changes in gill water flow occurring due to differences in fish acclimation temperature.
