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

Figure 5

The relationship between larval survival from 0 to 40 dph (days post-hatch) and female size (fork length, FL) of longfin smelt Spirinchus thaleichthys in the logarithmic form: (a) The overall relationship between larval survival at 40 dph and the size of female broodstock; (b) the 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.
