Long‐term rearing of Arctic charr Salvelinus alpinus under different salinity regimes at constant temperature
Arctic charr Salvelinus alpinus of the Hólar strain (mean ± s.e. body mass = 152·1 ± 3·1 g) were reared at four different salinity regimes at a constant temperature of 7·4° C. Two groups were given a three‐month acclimation in salinity 18 before the salinity was increased to either 25 or 29 (groups...
