Diurnal rhythm in the rates of oxygen consumption, locomotor and feeding activity of yearling atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) under various light conditions

  • Published:
Proceedings / Indian Academy of Sciences

Summary

Under control conditions of the laboratory, the rates of oxygen consumption, locomotor activity and feeding show a diurnal rhythm. It appears that light plays only a minor role in the production of this rhythm in the juvenile Atlantic salmon.
