Tilapia species are generally characterized by a large tolerance to salinity; however, such capacity to adapt to brackish or seawater may be modulated by environmental factors. The major osmoregulatory mechanisms involved in salinity adaptation are presented. Most of the available data concern the role of gills in salt or water exchange. The importance of different factors (environmental or endogenous) in such adaptation is also discussed. The second part presents a survey of the endocrine control of osmoregulation in tilapia. Both fast-acting (e.g. glucagon, urotensins, catecholamines) and long-acting (e.g. prolactin, cortisol) hormones have been studied. In conclusion, several areas of osmoregulatory physiology potentially interesting for...
