Effects of Salinity on Fertilization, Hatching, and Larval Performance of Longfin Smelt Spirinchus thaleichthys

Figure 4

The relationship between hatching rate and female size (fork length, FL) of longfin smelt Spirinchus thaleichthys in the logarithmic form: (a) The overall relationship between hatching rate and female size; (b) separate relationships based on different fertilization salinities, and (c) separate relationships based on different incubation salinities. Least squares regression line (solid line) and 95% confidence interval (shaded area) are shown for each relationship.
