The effects of salinity on the population growth and composition of
A. royi are shown in Fig. 1 and 2, respectively. The significantly (p < 0.05) largest final population was found at salinity 20 (1917.25 ± 316.5 individuals), and the smallest populations were found in both low- and high-salinity treatments (salinity 0: 67.25 ± 12.8, salinity 5: 229.25 ± 58.6, salinity 30: 237.25 ± 23, and salinity 35: 85.25 ± 38 individuals)
