... preference (15.1±1.1°C, mean±s.d.) using a shuttle box, agitation temperature (22.0±1.4°C), defined as the point where a fish exhibits a behavioural avoidance response, and the upper thermal limit (CT max , 28.2±0.4°C) for 1 year old brook trout ( Salvelinus fontinalis ) acclimated to 10°C. We then acutely...

... of climate warming on fisheries but has not been robustly empirically tested. We used brook trout ( Salvelinus fontinalis ), a fast-growing, cold-water salmonid species of broad economic, conservation and ecological value, to examine the GOL hypothesis in a long-term experiment quantifying effects...

...Junya Hiroi; Stephen D. McCormick SUMMARY We compared seawater tolerance, gill Na + /K + -ATPase and Na + /K + /2Cl – cotransporter (NKCC)abundance, and mitochondria-rich cell (MRC) morphology of three salmonids,lake trout Salvelinus namaycush , brook trout Salvelinus fontinalis and Atlantic salmon...

... of the fish. This study was then extended to include a different species of salmonid, brook trout Salvelinus fontinalis , to explore the generality of TnT modulation of muscle activation. Muscle contractile properties were determined from anterior and posterior muscle, and relative expression of S1 and S2...

...). A kinematic analysis of behaviors associated with the TBA in the brook trout Salvelinus fontinalis was performed using high-speed video (250 frames s –1 ). Two distinct behaviors were identified, raking and open-mouth chewing. Univariate analysis demonstrated that these behaviors were significantly different...
