Creator:

Lough, Robert Gregory

Abstract:

Adula californiensis, which inhabits mudstone along the open coast and in Yaquina Bay, Oregon, is subjected to extremely varying conditions. Laboratory experiments of a factorial design were used to investigate the effects of temperature and salinity on survival, growth and respiration during early development. The rate of development to the...
