Figure 1: Survival and organismal phenotypes during hypersalinity acclimation. a) Percentage of fish remaining versus salinity following constant daily salinity increase at five rates of increase (n=8). b) Percentage of fish remaining over time at constant salinity after acclimation to four hypersaline conditions (n=12 at 105/95/85g/kg, n=48 at 75g/kg). Lines in A and B follow logistic functions. c) Blood osmolality values for five 14-day acclimations after 24 hours at the target salinity (n=6 except at 75g/kg with n=4) and following extended exposure for 12 weeks (75g/kg, n=8) and at MP (85/105g/kg, n=6). d) Body condition for the same treatments as c . Letters in C and D were assigned using a post-hoc Tukey test following one-way ANOVA. e) Normalized Feeding for the same treatments as C and D except the 12-week experiment.
