Abstract
Rate of development and mortality of eggs of the Windermere char (Salvelinus alpinus willughbii) were investigated. Excessive mortality occurred at temperatures above 8 C, total mortality above 12 C. Rate of development varied with the water temperature, eggs taking on an average 45 days to hatch at 10 C and 95 days at 4 C.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
