Abstrakt: Summary Chloride extrusion is examined in the isolated perfused gill of the pinfish,Lagodon rhomboides. In both sea water and Ringer's baths, the Cl efflux from the isolated gill is 45% that of the intact animal. The transepithelial electrical potential (TEP) across the isolated gill in sea water is equal to that in vivo, in Ringer's the gill TEP is slightly less than in vivo. Cl efflux is linearly dependent upon afferent flow of the perfusate. Furosemide, added to the perfusate inhibits 57% of the Cl efflux in gills bathed bilaterally by Ringer's. Ouabain causes a marked vasoconstriction and increase in afferent pressure. Removal of Na from the perfusate produces an inhibition of the Cl efflux that is not potential mediated. Net extrusion of Cl is inhibited in isolated gills bathed bilaterally by sodium free Ringer's.
