Preliminary notes on the salinity preference of milkfish, Chanos chanos, fry
Share
Abstract
Vertical salinity gradient columns were used to investigate the salinity preference of milkfish fry. Newly captured fry showed a preference for 32‰ salinity. Fry which had been in captivity for one to five days, at 12 or 22‰ salinity, had no salinity preference between waters of 12, 22 or 32‰ salinity.

Effects of salinity on growth of young milkfish, Chanos chanos
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1976)Growth of young milkfish was studied at different levels of salinity over a period 68 days. Results suggested that young milkfish reared in freshwater or less saline sea water grew faster than in sea water. The increase ... -
