Abstract:We examined the combined effects of fasting in freshwater and water temperature during the transition from freshwater to seawater on growth/metabolic parameters in juvenile chum salmon Oncorhynchus keta. Juveniles of 1 g in freshwater were first subjected to a 5-day fasting period at 10 or 5 °C, acclimated to either 10 or 5 °C seawater and fed ad libitum for 30 days. Control fish were transferred from 10 °C freshwater to 10 °C seawater and fed ad libitum throughout the experimental period. Serum insulin-like g… Show more
