Thermal shock effect on eggs of the summer flounder

Abstract

from the conclusions and recommendations, ". . .Because of limited data produced by this study, it is recommended that additional experiments be conducted with the various embryological stages and that determinations be made of hatching success and of sublethal effects. Additionally, the larval stages should also be evaluated for both thermal mortality and sublethal effects . Summer flounder larvae have been found in local estuarine waters of New York (Poole, 1961) and New Jersey (Murawski, 1964, 1965, 1966) and the species is important commercially and recreationally. . ."
