Summary: | This report deals with continuing studies on the investigation of freshwater inflow effects on South Texas estuaries and bays by (a) utilizing fish as indicators of optimal effects of these inflows and (b) assessing the metabolic performances of fishes in a variety of salinity situations as an analytical tool independent of fishery and pollution effects. The current study at 15°C deals with the juvenile stages of Atlantic croaker, red drum and spotted seatrout, and compares metabolic performance of the juveniles with that of their adult counterparts.
