|
Trachemys scripta Apalone spinifer Trionychidae Aquatic turtles gained water in fresh water and lost water in 3·3% sodium chloride solution or in air. Whether measured in air, in hypotonic or in hypertonic solutions, the soft-shell turtle, Trionyx spinifer, which is covered by leathery skin, was three to four times more permeable to water than that pond slider, Pseudemys scripta, which is covered by horny scutes.
