Field measurements of the basal oxygen consumption of Atlantic salmon parr and smolt
T HIS investigation was undertaken in order to study, under conditions as nearly natural as possible, the basal oxygen requirements of salmon parr and smolts living at the northern limit of their range in Ungava. The results are of interest for two reasons; (1) an indication is obtained of the way t...
