ATLANTIC salmon caged in Macquarie Harbour could be building up a tolerance to low dissolved oxygen levels, new research suggests. The study, which used fish-borne sensors to monitor stock in Huon Aquacultures cages, found that in hot conditions, the salmon would congregate in the middle depths of t...
