| Abstract: | Little is known about the physiological capabilities of young-of-year (YOY) shortnose sturgeon. In this study, plasma osmolality
and hematocrit values were measured for YOY shortnose sturgeon following 48-h exposures to 12 different combinations of salinity
and temperature. Hematocrit levels varied significantly with temperature and age, and plasma osmolalities varied significantly
with salinity and age. Plasma osmolality and hematocrit values were similar to previously published values for other sturgeons
of similar age and size in similar treatment conditions. |
