Age-0 Yellow Perch Growth and Its Relationship to Temperature

摘要: Abstract Temperature is known to be an important determinant of growth, but its influence on the growth juvenile yellow perch Perca flavescens has not been unambiguously quantified. In this study, temperature data loggers were deployed in several northern Alberta lakes, and collected used compute cumulative number days for which water exceeded 13.5°C minimum required growth. Tow-net seine samples young year (age-0 fish) obtained describe fork length throughout summer. Length degree-day test importance as a A significant relationship was validated with from previous studies age-0 Manitoba. The further assessed over broader geographic range use latitude surrogate published end-of-season lengths. Though sole determinant...
