Abstract
Drinking rates in glass eels and elvers of the European eel increased with environmental acclimation salinity from 0·07±0·02 (FW) to 0·70±0·09 μl g‐ 1 h‐ 1 (SW) at month 1 and from 1·12±0·42 (FW) to 12·85±1·05 ± l g‐ 1 h‐ 1 (SW) at month 5. Drinking rates increased with time in both FW and SW groups. FW acclimated eels when challenged acutely with SW increased drinking rate rapidly immediately upon transfer (0–15 min) and the magnitude of this response increased with developmental time from month 1 to month 5.
