...Isotope turnover rates thus appear to be similar for two elasmobranch species with differing life history strategies and tissue urea retentions (Hammerschlag, 2006), but similarly low growth rates (Casey et al., 1985; MacNeil et al., 2006)....
[...]
...Nitrogen isotope ratios in animal tissues increase with trophic position due to the preferential excretion of 14N as nitrogenous waste (Steele & Daniel, 1978), but elasmobranch fishes retain urea in their tissues to osmoregulate (Smith, 1929, 1936; Karnaky, 1998; Hammerschlag, 2006)....

...This is in contrast to teleosts, which principally use only sodium and chloride ions to maintain osmotic consistency through functions of the gill, kidney and by drinking processes (sees reviews by Evans 1993 and Evans et al. 2005)....

...Although there have been several recent reviews of elasmobranch osmoregulation (Hazon et al. 2003; Evans et al. 2004, 2005), these have restricted focus to selected aspects of osmoregulation and tended to be highly technical....

...…across the apical membrane is lowered by active transport of intracellular urea across the basolateral membrane via a Naþ: urea antiporter, energised by the continual removal of Naþ from the gill via basolateral Naþ, Kþ-ATPases (Fines et al. 2001; reviewed by Wilkie 2002 and Evans et al. 2005)....

...…gill is involved with salt ion uptake and acid–base balance, particularly important for maintaining ionic homeostasis in a freshwater environment (Perry 1997; Wilson et al. 1997; Piermarini and Evans 2000; Piermarini et al. 2002; Wood et al. 2002; Evans et al. 2005; Tresguerrers et al. 2005)....
