What is Gill Function in Fish Larvae: Ionoregulation vs. Respiration about?

This document summarizes a study examining whether the gills of fish larvae function primarily for respiration or ion regulation. The study compares surface area as an indicator of respiratory capacity to chloride cell numbers as an indicator of ionoregulatory capacity in rainbow trout larvae. Results from previous studies on other species suggest that chloride cells appear on the gills before structures for gas exchange, indicating ion regulation may be the initial primary function of larvae gills.
