Effect of salinity on the oxygen consumption of larvae of the silversides Odontesthes hatcheri and O. bonariensis (Osteichthyes, Atherinopsidae)
Starved larvae of the silversides O. hatcheri (2- and 5-days-old) and Odontesthes bonariensis (5-days-old) were used to compare the oxygen consumption rates at 0, 5, 10, 20 and 30 ppt salinity. Oxygen consumption of O. hatcheri and O. bonariensis was minimal at 0 and 10 ppt, respectively, salinities...
