Salmon are anadromous fish and must deal with osmotic changes in their environment in extreme ways. Researchers have found that Na*/K* - ATPase is found in two different kinds of cells in the gill tissue. One type is found in the filament bases that appear to be active when salmon are adults only. The other types of cells are found in the lamellae folds and appear to be active during its juvenile stages. Speculate on these findings as to how this allows salmon to complete their unique life cycle.

Classification of Marine Organisms

Classification is a way of categorizing organisms that enables an easy process of identification of such organisms. All living things are classified by grouping them under specific categories. The grouping is done based on the close relativeness of the organisms. The classification tool requires knowledge of characteristics, differences, and similarities between different organisms.
