Abstract
Conditions bearing on 43 determinations of the specific gravity of the eggs of chinook (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) and coho (O. kisutch) salmon and of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) are described. Mean and coefficient of variation of the specific gravity of 13 batches of ova before water‐hardening were 1.076 ± 0.84%, and of 30 batches of zygotes after water‐hardening were 1.064 ± 0.83%, while for all 43, 1.066 ± 1.38%. Three dry/wet and ash/wet weight ratios respectively averaged 0.344 ± 4.9% and 0.00872 ± 3.4%.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
