Abstract
Urine flow rate in salmonid fishes was first measured in 1937 and reported to range from 50 to 160 mL/kg per day at 10°C. Later studies on the kidney function of salmonid fishes in fresh water indicated that urine flow rate is influenced by (a) nutrition and disease, (b) environmental temperature and water quality, (c) handling and anesthesia, (d) hypoxic stress and confinement, (e) exposure to certain xenobiotics, and (f) entry into seawater.Keywords
