Assessment of Field Gastric Lavage Efficacy: Salmo salar
Post-mortem dissection (gastric) was performed on juvenile Atlantic salmon Salmo salar ranging from 52 mm to 104 mm in total length (tip of snout to end of tail) and weighing 1.04 g to 9.42 g to assess the efficacy of gastric lavage conducted in the field (Kennedy and Strange 1981).
