Abstract
Osmotic properties (osmotic pressure and concentration of Na+, K+ and Ca++) of the blood serum of the pike Esox lucius L. were studied in natural environments of various salinity (Lake Dąbie - fresh water, Szczecin Bay - 0,4 -1,2 per thousand salinity; Pomeranian Bay -5,4 - 8,6 per thousand salinity) and in synthetic sea water of a salinity of 2, 7, 12, 13, 14, and 16 per thousand.
