The effect of the rate of temperature increase on the critical thermal maximum for parr of Atlantic salmon and brown trout

The critical thermal maximum for salmon and trout parr was not affected significantly by age or acclimation temperature, and increased asymptotically with the rate of temperature increase. Mean thermal maxima were estimated with poor precision at high and low rates of temperature increase, and high...

Description
Summary:The critical thermal maximum for salmon and trout parr was not affected significantly by age or acclimation temperature, and increased asymptotically with the rate of temperature increase. Mean thermal maxima were estimated with poor precision at high and low rates of temperature increase, and high precision at rates of 1 and 2°Ch −1 .
