Hopkins, Anderson & Horvath (1973)
Significant changes in salinity, either increasing from >1 ppt or decreasing from <16 ppt, are an environmental cue to induce spawning. Embryos and early larvae thrive in a strict salinity range between 2 and 15 ppt.
Armstrong (1987)
Acartia tonsa was found in salinities >80 psu. Combined with previous information on this species, it can be concluded that the copepod has a higher salinity range compared to other fauna.
Collins et al. (2008)
When water inflow is decreased and, as a result, salinity is increased in the area, R. bonasusestablish themselves further upriver.
Bulger et al. (1993)
Can tolerate salinities between 13 and 30 ppt. They are considered primarily marine organisms.
Bennett (2005)
Despite being able to tolerate salinities between 0.0 and 18.0 psu, these fish thrive in 0.2 to 2.0 psu. Younger fish are found closer to the 0.2 range, and older fish are found closer to the 2.0 range.
