Thermal Acclimation and Temperature Selection in Atlantic Salmon, Salmo salar , and Rainbow Trout, S . gairdneri
The selected temperature for Atlantic salmon and rainbow trout, as determined in a horizontal gradient, increases with acclimation temperature over the acclimation range 5–20 C for salmon and 10–20 C for trout. The final preferendum for salmon is about 17 C. The results for rainbow trout suggest tha...

Summary: | The selected temperature for Atlantic salmon and rainbow trout, as determined in a horizontal gradient, increases with acclimation temperature over the acclimation range 5–20 C for salmon and 10–20 C for trout. The final preferendum for salmon is about 17 C. The results for rainbow trout suggest that the type of gradient used, i.e. vertical or horizontal, has a marked influence on the experimentally determined relation between acclimation temperature and selected temperature. |
