Abstract
The temperature and salinity tolerance of newly released young Neomysis americana was measured for two acclimation temperatures and salinities. The newly released young possess a wide tolerance range to changes in temperature and salinity. Salinities as low as 4‰ had no effect on the molt or growth rate. The effect of environmental conditions on the distribution and life history are discussed.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
