The Impact of Temperature on Diploid & Triploid Atlantic Salmon Growth! 🐟🔥 Ever wondered how temperature affects the growth, sexual maturation, and health of Atlantic salmon? 🌡️🐠 A fascinating study examined diploid and triploid Atlantic salmon post-smolts reared at eight constant temperatures (from 3.0°C to 20.5°C) for 140 days! Let’s dive into the key findings! 👀👇 🔬 Growth & Temperature Temperature plays a huge role in salmon development! 📈 ✅ Moderate temperatures (10-15°C) → Best for growth, ensuring healthy weight gain and size increase. 🏆🐟 ⚠️ Extremes (below 5°C or above 18°C) → Slower growth, stress, and potential health risks. ⚠️ 🔥 Sexual Maturation & Temperature Sexual development in salmon is temperature-dependent! ♀️♂️ 💡 Higher temperatures (16-20°C) → Accelerated sexual maturation in diploids, but triploids showed delayed or reduced maturation. 💡 Lower temperatures (below 10°C) → Slowed maturation, which could be beneficial in aquaculture...
