Decreased survival occurred for juvenile coho salmon following doses of X-radiation >1000 r when transferred from hypo-osmotic to a hyperosmotic environment (0%c-30%o salinity). Survivors which had remained in salt and fresh water 60 days post-irradiation were sacrificed for plasma sodium, chloride and osmotic concentrations. Increased levels (P< 0.005, >0.01) were noted between the control (0 r) and the irradiated (> 1200 r) group of saltwater fish; while no significant elevations occurred between irradiated and non-irradiated fish remaining in fresh water. Sites of histopathological changes in saltwater fish were found principally in the extrarenal system (gills, caecae and intestine) with severe damage noted in the gill lamellae. No damage was apparent in the kidney. No histopathological changes were noted in fish receiving the same amount of irradiation but which remained in fresh water.
