<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>During final maturation the oocytes of many marine teleosts swell four to five times their original size due to uptake of water. The involvement of active inorganic ion transport and Na<jats:sup>+</jats:sup>,K<jats:sup>+</jats:sup>‐ATPase in oocyte hydration in Atlantic croaker (<jats:italic>Micropogonias undulatus</jats:italic>) and spotted seatrout (<jats:italic>Cynoscion nebulosus</jats:italic>), marine teleosts which spawn pelagic eggs, was investigated by examining changes in the inorganic ion content of ovarian follicles containing mainly oocytes, by performing in vitro incubations of the follicles with ion channel blockers, and by assaying membrane preparations of ovaries containing hydrating and non‐hydrating oocytes for Na<jats:sup>+</jats:sup>,K<jats:sup>+</jats:sup>‐ATPase activity and content. There were marked increases in the contents of K<jats:sup>+</jats:sup>, Mg<jats:sup>++</jats:sup>, and Ca<jats:sup>++</jats:sup>, but not Na<jats:sup>+</jats:sup>, in oocytes of <jats:italic>M. undulatus</jats:italic> and <jats:italic>C. nebulosus</jats:italic> during hydration. Incubation of follicle‐enclosed oocytes in K<jats:sup>+</jats:sup>‐free medium or with ouabain or amiloride, inhibitors of Na<jats:sup>+</jats:sup>, K<jats:sup>+</jats:sup>‐ATPase and Na<jats:sup>+</jats:sup> channels, respectively, blocked gonadotropin‐induced oocyte hydration in <jats:italic>M. undulatus</jats:italic>. In addition, Na<jats:sup>+</jats:sup>,K<jats:sup>+</jats:sup>‐ATPase activity increased threefold and the concentration of the enzyme increased 50% in ovarian tissue during oocyte hydration. These results strongly suggest a major role for active ion regulation by a ouabain‐sensitive Na<jats:sup>+</jats:sup>,K<jats:sup>+</jats:sup>‐ATPase system in oocyte hydration in two species of sciaenid fishes.</jats:p>
