Intra-Specific Difference in the Effect of Salinity on Physiological Performance in European Perch (<i>Perca fluviatilis</i>) and Its Ecological Importance for Fish in Estuaries

Intra-Specific Difference in the Effect of Salinity on Physiological Performance in European Perch (<i>Perca fluviatilis</i>) and Its Ecological Importance for Fish in Estuaries

Changes in environmental salinity challenge fish homeostasis and may affect physiological performance, such as swimming capacity and metabolism, which are important for foraging, migration, and escaping predators in the wild. The effects of salinity stress on physiological performance are largely sp...
