Low water hardness and pH affect growth and survival of silver catfish juveniles Baixa dureza da água e pH afetam o crescimento e a sobrevivência de juvenis de jundiá

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of exposure to low water hardness (0, 25 and 50mg CaCO3L-1) into the 6.0-8.0 pH range to silver catfish juveniles (Rhamdia quelen) survival and growth after 32 days. Juveniles kept at zero water hardness presented higher mortality at pH 7.0...
