Figure 6 effects of salt content in the transport water on cumulative mortality of guppy at 7 days post shipment. Two batches of fish were tested and they were stocked in freshwater or in water with initial salinity similar to their transport water (with daily 30% dilution with freshwater) during the 1-week recovery period after shipment. The value represents the mean of four replicates and its standard deviation. Different alphabet letters within the same group of recovery water indicate significant differences between means (Po0.05).
