Chinook salmon, Oncorhynchus tshawytscha, were reared from
fertilization of the eggs to several weeks after complete yolk absorption
at dissolved oxygen concentration of 3.5, 5.0, and 7.3 mg/liter and air-saturation
at temperatures of 10.5, 12.0, 13.5, and 15.0 C. Decrease of either
temperature or dissolved oxygen concentration resulted in increase...
In an era of human-induced climate change, there is increasing interest in encouraging people to reduce their carbon dioxide (carbon) emissions by adopting low-carbon behaviors, or behaviors that reduce a person’s use of fossil fuels. I designed the Campus Carbon Challenge as a research and outreach project to gain a...
Laboratory studies were conducted on the food consumption, growth, and bioenergetics of juvenile coho salmon (Oncoynchus kisutch) held at various swimming velocities and dissolved oxygen
concentrations at 15 C. Food consumption and growth of salmon fed to repletion on housefly larvae (Mus domesticus) were reduced by increasing activity at and...
