Mozambique tilapia, Oreochromis mossambicus, born and raised in five salinities, viz. (relatively soft) fresh water, 25, 50, 75% and full-strength sea-water, were analyzed for ionoregulatory performance (in particular sodium and calcium handling) and growth. This tilapia regulates its blood serum mineral composition rather effectively; however, in sea-water serum concentrations of sodium, chloride and calcium (in males only) were increased, as was the serum osmolarity. In sea-water, the total body sodium pool was significantly enlarged. With increasing salinity, sodium turnover increased. Serum calcium levels and the total body calcium pool were more strictly controlled than those of sodium. The lowest density of chloride cells in opercular epithelium and the lowest branchial Na+-K+-ATPase activity were observed in 50% sea-water; these values were higher in fish kept in waters of lower or higher salinities. Fish grew more rapidly in brackish water. Fish kept in brackish water appeared to depend on food-related calcium for growth as branchial calcium uptake provides no more than 20% of growth related Ca-accumulation.
