The effect of acclimation on salinity tolerance of the mysid, Mysidopsis bahia Molenock

1. 1. Upper and lower tolerance limits increased from 32.1 to 43.7%o and 4.9 to 9. l%o, respectively, as a function of increasing acclimation salinity. 2. 2. Mysids acclimated to high salinities tolerated a wider range of salinities than did those acclimated to low salinities. 3. 3. The tolerance ra...

Zusammenfassung:1. 1. Upper and lower tolerance limits increased from 32.1 to 43.7%o and 4.9 to 9. l%o, respectively, as a function of increasing acclimation salinity. 2. 2. Mysids acclimated to high salinities tolerated a wider range of salinities than did those acclimated to low salinities. 3. 3. The tolerance range of this species in the laboratory is greater than suggested from field collection data. 4. 4. M. bahia is a euryhaline species and its use as a standard estuarine bioassay organism is therefore justified.
