| This presents a stressful condition in dilute salinities that must be met by active ion uptake. |
|
| Different bodies of water have different amounts of salt mixed in, or different salinities. |
|
| At hatch, the emerging nauplius is usually confronted with very high salinities. |
|
| In this area seasonal temperatures and salinities vary little from year to year and the thermocline structure is rather stable. |
|
| We will be acclimating hatching crocodiles to varying salinities, from fresh water to full-strength seawater. |
|
| A possible explanation of this difference is that the habitats of these species have different salinities and so the organisms may show markedly different salt tolerances. |
|
| Survivals to second-stage zoeae and to megalopae were highest at salinities of 20-38 and 26-38, respectively. |
|
| Very high surface temperatures and high salinities make this one of the warmest and saltiest bodies of seawater in the world. |
|
| Direct density measurements are also used to estimate salinities, particularly in highly saline lakes. |
|
| Absolute salinities on this scale are expressed as a mass fraction, in grams per kilogram of solution. |
|
| Of wetlands we studied in summer 1992, the oligosaline wetlands have had much more stable salinities over the last five years than have the mesosaline wetlands. |
|
| An organism that can withstand a wide range of salinities is euryhaline. |
|
| When contact between the integument and the surrounding sea water solution is blocked, crocodiles are found to lose their ability to discriminate salinities. |
|
| The salinities of these inlets are higher than that of the ocean. |
|
| Hill stated that mass mortality was particularly evident in sessile and slow moving benthic organisms in the St Lucia estuarine system, during periods of elevated salinities. |
