“…Salt is often used in management of larviculture of freshwater fish species to improve larval growth and survival (Beux, & Zaniboni-Filho, 2007;Luz, & Santos, 2010;Santos, & Luz, 2009). Exposure of fish to different environmental salinity in later developmental stages, juveniles and adults, induces changes in osmoregulation and metabolism, which can affect fish survival and growth (Boeuf, & Payan, 2001;Mattioli et al, 2017Mattioli et al, , 2019. In general, fish are able to maintain quite constant ionic composition and osmolality of their internal fluids when exposed to changes in environmental salinity, at least until the limit that causes stress disturbance is reached, which varies among species.…”
