Relationship between Na+/K+ -ATPase activity and α-subunit gene expression during the smoltification in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)

During the smoltification the Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) develop different adaptations to survive in oceanic environment. One of the most important adaptations is the ability to excrete the surplus of salt through the gills. The excretion is controlled by an enzyme called Na+/K+-ATPase which is p...
