The effects of salinity on survival, growth, aerobic metabolism and ion regulation in early life stages of Pacific salmonids

A series of laboratory experiments were conducted to test the hypothesis that the energetic requirements for ion regulation in early life stages of three Pacific salmonids would be minimal at an isotonic water salinity (8-10 ppt). Hatching success, alevin survival, time to hatching, size, and metab...
