Comparative Proteomics of Salinity Stress Responses in Fish and Aquatic Invertebrates.

ABSTRACT: Fluctuating salinity is symptomatic of climate change challenging aquatic species. The melting of polar ice, rising sea levels, coastal surface and groundwater salinization, and increased evaporation in arid habitats alter salinity worldwide. Moreover, the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events such as rainstorms and floods increase, causing rapid shifts in brackish and coastal habitat salinity. Such salinity alterations disrupt homeostasis and ultimately diminish the fitness, of aquatic organisms by interfering with metabolism, reproduction, immunity, and other critical aspects of physiology. Proteins are central to these physiological mechanisms. They represent the molecular building blocks of phenotypes that govern organismal responses to environmental challenges. Environment
