INTRODUCTION

It is well known that littoral teleosts, such as Blennius pholis, are on occasions subjected to considerable and abrupt variations in the salinity of their environment. Smith (1930) constructed a tentative model of the processes involved in the osmoregulation of teleosts; quantification of the various components of the Smith model has been extensive, but little attention has been paid to the respiratory stresses undergone by teleosts in fluctuating salinities.
