... muscle and skin. Upon re-immersion in water after 33 days of air exposure(`terrestrialization'), lungfish exhibited a massive rise in urea-N excretion which peaked at 12–30 h with rates of 2000–5000 μmol-N kg –1 h –1 (versus normal aquatic rates of<130 μmol-N kg –1 h –1 ) and persisted until 70 h...
