Figure 1


Fig. 1. The percentage of swimmers remaining at each acute temperature challenge (100%=15 salmon). The temperature for 50% failure is interpolated as 23.5°C. The line is fitted using a sigmoidal dose-response equation:

Formula(1)
where y is the proportion of fish swimming, x is temperature and the parameters min, max and EC50 are estimated from data.
