Changes in metabolic rate, excretion, energy reserves, and starvation response of diploid and triploid Salvelinus fontinalis and diploid O. mykiss after long-term exposure to elevated temperature
Abstract:Routine metabolic rate (RMR), faeces composition, quantities of dissolved excretion, and energy reserves were investigated in diploid (2n) and triploid (3n) Salvelinus fontinalis and 2n Oncorhynchus mykiss exposed to 20°C for 32 d in comparison to fish acclimated to 9°C. At 20°C RMR of 2n S. fontinalis decreased with increasing exposure time and after 32 d it did not differ from 9°C. Also in O. mykiss RMR decreased with exposure time but remained 60% higher than at 9°C. In 3n S. fontinalis exposed to 20°C RMR … Show more
