Abstract
Fertilized eggs of chum salmon were incubated in seated bottles containing a low level of dissolved O2 (2.50 to 2.53 ppm) and dissolved CO2 ranging from 6.5 to 243 ppm. Up to a level of about 125 ppm of dissolved CO2, no effect was noted on the ability to the embryos to use dissolved O2; at higher levels pronounced diminution of O2 extracting ability was noted. The percentage of the embryos surviving to hatching time was also found to be related to the dissolved CO2.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
