Effect of temperature on the drinking rates of two species of flatfish, flounder and turbot
Flounders responded to a temperature change of 10° C by increasing drinking rate with a Q 10 value of about 1.5 while turbot showed a limited capacity to respond to a similar temperature change. Drinking as an indicator of osmoregulatory performance is well developed in the euryhaline flounder compa...

| Summary: | Flounders responded to a temperature change of 10° C by increasing drinking rate with a Q 10 value of about 1.5 while turbot showed a limited capacity to respond to a similar temperature change. Drinking as an indicator of osmoregulatory performance is well developed in the euryhaline flounder compared to the stenohaline turbot indicating fundamental differences in the physiological response to temperature. |
