Temperature and Salinity Effects on Survival and Growth of Early Life Stage Shubenacadie River Striped Bass

A series of short, laboratory‐based trials was conducted on striped bass Morone saxatilis from the Shubenacadie River, Nova Scotia, Canada, starting with wild‐caught eggs and proceeding through to the early juvenile stage. The levels of the experimental factors—salinity (0–35‰) and temperature (10–3...

Zusammenfassung:A series of short, laboratory‐based trials was conducted on striped bass Morone saxatilis from the Shubenacadie River, Nova Scotia, Canada, starting with wild‐caught eggs and proceeding through to the early juvenile stage. The levels of the experimental factors—salinity (0–35‰) and temperature (10–30°C)—spanned the range occurring in the natal estuary. Survival of eggs to 1 d posthatch (dph) was highest, more than 60%, between 2‰ and 20‰ salinity and was reduced significantly (to
