Growth
Growth was measured biweekly for the 75g/kg extended salinity experiment
(Figure 2B). Control and treatment diverged significantly in weight
after two weeks at 75g/kg (week 4 weighing). By the end of the
experiment, weight was not significantly greater in the 75g/kg treatment
versus the end of acclimation (week 2 time point). Overall, mean weight
increased by 37% from the original weight in the 75g/kg treatment over
12 weeks from 3.756 g/fish to 5.173 g/fish. In comparison, the control
treatment increased by 214% of the original weight from 3.933 g/fish to
12.37 g/fish.
