Lower water temperature (6 degrees C in comparison to 16 degrees C) favors a higher proportion of porphyropsin in the retina of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri), regardless of the light conditions (constant darkness or 12 hours of light and 12 of darkness). This response to temperature does not follow a Q10 relation, namely an increase in the rate of a reaction produced by raising the temperature 10 degrees C.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
